Film in which I perform, making a comeback (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gigi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'film' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i perform making a comeback' is the wordplay.
'perform making' becomes 'gig' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a comeback' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'i'+'gig'='igig'
'igig' backwards is 'GIGI'.

'in which' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gigi that I've seen before include "1958 film, winner of 9 Academy Awards" , "Musical, winner of nine Academy Awards" , "1958 film musical from a Colette novel" , "Lerner/Loewe musical" , "Lerner and Loewe musical and film" .)
