Role cut twice to go on film? (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
jojo rabbit
'film?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'role cut twice to go on' is the wordplay.
'role' becomes 'job' (I've seen this in another clue).
'cut' means to remove the last letter.
'twice' indicates the doubling of some letters.
'to go on' becomes 'rabbit' (both can mean to talk excessively).
'job' with its final letter taken away is 'jo'.
'jo' doubled is 'jojo'.
'jojo'+'rabbit'='JOJO RABBIT'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
