European film on a grand scale (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

epic

'on a grand scale' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'european film' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'film' becomes 'pic' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'e'+'pic'='EPIC'

(Other definitions for epic that I've seen before include "Long literary work about great events" , "Surpassing the ordinary" , "Guardian (body, beast)" , "eg The Iliad" , "Heroic; saga" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
