False tale's involving me? This falcon makes a film (7)
I believe the answer is:
maltese
'me? this falcon makes a film' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'false tale's' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'tale' is 'alte' which is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'involving' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for maltese that I've seen before include "sort of cross" , "Island people - type of cross" , "Description of cross" , "The -- Falcon, 1941 film" , "Small silky-haired spaniel" .)
