Round woman's in special movie (7)

I believe the answer is:

spheric

'round' is the definition.
('spheric' can be similar in meaning to 'round')

'woman's in special movie' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'her' (**).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'special' becomes 's' (common abbreviation as in Special Air Service).
'movie' becomes 'pic' (abbreviation for picture).
's'+'pic'='spic'
'her' placed into 'spic' is 'SPHERIC'.

(Another definition for spheric that I've seen is " Round".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
