Crossword Genius

Dubbing for film musical (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grease

This clue is a double definition.

'dubbing' is the first definition.
(dub can mean to smear with grease)

'film musical' is the second definition.
(Grease is a 1978 film musical)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for grease that I've seen before include "Musical - lubricant" , "Fully aware, astonished" , "Musical starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John" , "Lubricate - musical" , "Fatty lubricant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
