Director Lupino (3)
I believe the answer is:
ida
'director lupino' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for ida that I've seen before include "Cretan mount" , "The girl for Dai" , "Name of girl or mountain" , "- Rubinstein, Russian dancer, actress" , "Classical mountain" .)
