Spy picture's red frames getting on fine (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

goldfinger

'spy picture's' is the definition.
(James Bond film)

'red frames getting on fine' is the wordplay.
'red' becomes 'ginger'.
'frames' is an insertion indicator.
'getting on' becomes 'old' ('getting on a bit' means 'old').
'fine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'old'+'f'='oldf'
'ginger' placed around 'oldf' is 'GOLDFINGER'.

(Other definitions for goldfinger that I've seen before include "movie villain" , "Flick" , "Eponymous James Bond villain" , "Villain in film" , "Screen villain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
