Crossword Genius

Girl in film is seductive (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

miss

'girl' is the definition.
('miss' can be a synonym of 'girl')

'in film is seductive' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'MISS' can be found hidden inside 'film is seductive'.

(Other definitions for miss that I've seen before include "maiden" , "Girl or unmarried woman" , "Agatha Christie's detective" , "Fail to perceive" , "Young girl" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
