Essence of Michael Caine evident, broadcasting 70s film (5,2,6)
I believe the answer is:
death in venice
'70s film' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'essence of michael caine evident broadcasting' is the wordplay.
'essence of' means to look at the middle letters.
'broadcasting' indicates an anagram.
The middle of 'michael' is 'h'.
'h'+'caine'+'evident'='hcaineevident'
'hcaineevident' anagrammed gives 'DEATH IN VENICE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for death in venice that I've seen before include "Mann wrote it" , "Thomas Mann novella set in Italy" , "Opera by Britten based on a Thomas Mann novella" , "Novel by Thomas Mann" .)
