Information about hackneyed detective movie (9)
I believe the answer is:
goldeneye
'movie' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'information about hackneyed detective' is the wordplay.
'information' becomes 'gen' (gen can informally mean information).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'hackneyed' becomes 'old' (I've seen this in another clue).
'detective' becomes 'eye' (as in a private eye).
'gen' enclosing 'old' is 'golden'.
'golden'+'eye'='GOLDENEYE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for goldeneye that I've seen before include "spy film" , "Northern diving duck - 1995 Bond film" .)
