Stars from old film genre turned up (5)
I believe the answer is:
orion
'stars' is the definition.
(Orion is a constellation)
'old film genre turned up' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English).
'film genre' becomes 'noir' (film noir).
'turned up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'noir' in reverse letter order is 'rion'.
'o'+'rion'='ORION'
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for orion that I've seen before include "Constellation named for great Greek hunter" , "Large constellation" , "Mythical great hunter" , "Belted constellation" , "Constellation that includes Betelgeuse" .)
