I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'person fighting to unwrap a' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'classic film for example' is the wordplay.
'classic' becomes 'old'.
'film for example' becomes 'ie' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'old'+'ie'='OLDIE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oldie that I've seen before include "no chicken" , "Venerable person/thing" , "Former song or film that is still well-known" , "Aged person (colloq.)" , "Song of yesteryear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
