OptO, sorry for the messy grammar,

"relate to a word in the title of a film by the name derived from the across misprints" should have read - "relate to a word in the title of a famous film by the man whose name is derived from the across misprints"

Thanks - I have got it now. I found the 4 down clues to be altered, but kept on looking for names and saw that 4 answers could be altered to Amos, Ewart, Stella and Vera. These were red herrings.

The across person wrote The Rose and I thought this was relevant, having 1A, but I eventually realised what this was altered to, and the synonyms.

Brilliant puzzle with so much to it.

Thanks Ranunculous.

I also enjoyed this brilliant puzzle. Particularly liked that the across words altered were female names rather than any words. Also that the down names were great Man Utd players.

Enjoyed the red herrings. Thanks to Ranunculous.
