Movie's averages sources of pleasure, we're told (4,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mean streets

'movie's' is the definition.
(1973 movie)

'averages sources of pleasure we're told' is the wordplay.
'averages' becomes 'means' (mean is a kind of average).
'sources of pleasure' becomes 'treats'.
'we're told' shows a homophone (sound like).
'treats' sounds like 'treets'.
'means'+'treets'='MEAN STREETS'

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
