Economy measure called for by movie director? (3)
I believe the answer is:
cut
'economy' is the definition.
(both can mean a cost-saving measure)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cut that I've seen before include "Reduction; piece of meat" , "Divide; intersect" , "saving" , "Make an incision" , "Stop shooting!" .)
