What a dirty film! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scum

'what a dirty film' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for scum that I've seen before include "The lowest" , "Floating rubbish" , "Waste matter floating on the surface" , "Impurities on surface of liquid - or bad people" , "worst kind of people" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
