Film of aviator, one whom we sent flying (1,4,4,1,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

a room with a view

'film' is the definition.
(A Room with a View is a 1985 film)

'aviator one whom we sent flying' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'sent flying' indicates anagramming the letters (letters fly around).
'aviator'+'i'+'whom'+'we'='aviatoriwhomwe'
'aviatoriwhomwe' anagrammed gives 'A ROOM WITH A VIEW'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for a room with a view that I've seen before include "part of hotel overlooking the sea, say" , "accommodation that offers pleasant outlook" , "book?" , "what the holidaymaker wants?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
