Large-scale English film (4)
I believe the answer is:
epic
'large-scale' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'english film' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'film' becomes 'pic' (short for picture).
'e'+'pic'='EPIC'
(Other definitions for epic that I've seen before include "Long story telling of a hero's deeds" , "On a grand scale like long poem" , "Long poem set in nice picture" , "Long poem telling of great events" , "Large in scale" .)
