Genre of film associated with boldness in a war zone (7,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

western front

'a war zone' is the definition.

'genre of film associated with boldness' is the wordplay.
'genre of film' becomes 'western'.
'associated with' says to put letters next to each other.
'boldness' becomes 'front' (I have seen 'Boldness of manner ' mean 'front' so perhaps 'boldness' could also mean 'front').
'western'+'front'='WESTERN FRONT'

'in' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
