Ode by Gogol then adapted for book and film (3,4,7)
I believe the answer is:
the long goodbye
'book and film' is the definition.
(film based on Raymond Chandler book)
'ode by gogol then adapted' is the wordplay.
'adapted' is an anagram indicator.
'ode'+'by'+'gogol'+'then'='odebygogolthen'
'odebygogolthen' with letters rearranged gives 'THE LONG GOODBYE'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for the long goodbye that I've seen before include "Work" , "involving taking extended leave?" , "book, and film" .)
