Movie combining e.g. Prometheus and The Thin Man , right? (9)
I believe the answer is:
moonraker
'movie combining' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'e g prometheus and the thin man right?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'e' is present in the answer.
'g' could be 'm' (synonyms) and 'm' is located in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is located in the answer.
'man' could be 'r' (abbreviation for rook, a chess piece or 'man') and 'r' is located in the answer.
'right?' could be 'r' (abbreviation) and 'r' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for moonraker that I've seen before include "Wiltshireman" , "James bond novel" , "James Bond film" , "Small square sail" , "Book" .)
