I found this a curate's egg of a puzzle with some good clues but also some a little contrived.

A reasonably obscure movie which had me scratching my head to complete the three groups involved until the P dropped with a huge DOOOH!!

Unable to parse 20 across (misprinted definition) and don't see any real logic for the position of the star in the completed grid.

I agree, although did enjoy for the penny-dropping moment

20A: Def. is "dish with rice" = PIL (sauce returned) with AF (= FA="nothing" returned).

Of course, Thanks.

"LIP" for sauce is in at the moment and I always forget " FA" for nothing. Ditto "NADA" and "ZIP".

Bobbycollins, just for you - from today's Sunday Times puzzle...

12 D. FA stalled over a rule (3,1,7).

Thanks, Malone - that's spooky, I've just printed it off for Mrs Bobbycollins!

I'm stuck on the far right down unclued clue, as I have the letters B?L?FT, can anyone help me?
Also are the star's names (christian & surname) in different places on the grid?
So I presume I've got the film right but can't work out how the unclued answers are anything to do with it, did the star & co-star do more than one film together?

P.S., because someone mentioned Doh! could I be looking for C???????? B?? B??????

Mjk, that unclued is one of 'two words', mentioned in the preamble.

Yes, the names are in different places. I got the theme from the set of three males... they're all '??????', anagram of the film.

Thank you Malone, I'll have another go at it. Is the top RH down answer in English?

You're welcome,mjk. Yes, that answer is in English.
