Crossword Genius

Excited Scout found me his film (3,5,2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

the sound of music

'film' is the definition.
(I have seen 'feelgood movie' mean 'the sound of music' so perhaps 'movie' could also mean 'the sound of music')

'excited scout found me his' is the wordplay.
'excited' is an anagram indicator.
'scout'+'found'+'me'+'his'='scoutfoundmehis'
'scoutfoundmehis' is an anagram of 'THE SOUND OF MUSIC'.

(Other definitions for the sound of music that I've seen before include "What promgoers like" , "Show" , "feelgood movie" , "Call of hounds" , "Musical (what else could it be?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
