Official recalled film full of hot passion (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fervid

'full of hot passion' is the definition.
(fervid can mean passionate)

'official recalled film' is the wordplay.
'official' becomes 'ref' (match official in football, say).
'recalled' is a reversal indicator.
'film' becomes 'vid' (short for video).
'ref' backwards is 'fer'.
'fer'+'vid'='FERVID'

(Other definitions for fervid that I've seen before include "Ardent, impassioned" , "Fiery and passionate" , "Zealous" , "Intensely enthusiastic" , "Heated - vehement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
