"Malcolm X” director (3)
I believe the answer is:
lee
'malcolm x director' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for lee that I've seen before include "The side that's sheltered from the wind" , "Bruce ___, martial arts ace" , "Robert E. - - , US hero" , "Protection" , "Sheltered from the wind in Cork, perhaps" .)
