Film version of Hamlet with antic Dane trapping foreign king (6,3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thelma and louise

'film' is the definition.
(Thelma and Louise is a 1991 film)

'version of hamlet with antic dane trapping foreign king' is the wordplay.
'version of' indicates anagramming the letters (another version of the same letters).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'antic' indicates anagramming the letters (antic or foolish version of the letters).
'trapping' is an insertion indicator.
'foreign king' becomes 'Louis' (several French kings were named Louis).
'dane' with letters rearranged gives 'ande'.
'ande' enclosing 'louis' is 'andlouise'.
'hamlet' with letters rearranged gives 'thelma'.
'thelma'+'andlouise'='THELMA AND LOUISE'
