Overcharge for the Newman-Redford film (5)
I believe the answer is:
sting
'overcharge' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'the newman-redford film' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'sing' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sting that I've seen before include "(Bee) wound" , "Bee's weapon" , "fleece?" , "Smart - swindle" , "Wound from wasp" .)
