It came to a stop in a Marilyn Monroe movie (3)
I believe the answer is:
bus
'it came to a stop in a marilyn monroe movie' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
This is all the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bus that I've seen before include "Means of public transport" , "Public service vehicle" , "Use transport" , "Coach" , "eg Double-decker" .)
