                  Like the word play but Is" it's criminal" really enough of a definition for "Liberty Valance"?

                  Comment


                    I'd say the definition was "criminal" (as in "a criminal")

                    I think it's OK, as the clue was relatively easy (or at least it was after I discovered that a synonym for pelmet is valance (a word I had never heard before outside of the context of John Ford movies))

                    Comment


                      It started out as "is criminal", but fat finger / brain fart kicked in, and I didn't think it any better either way.

                      Apologies.

                                Thought this was a gimme from the get go, given this is quite frankly a little bit of nerd central

                                  I've known the answer since the earlier hint. It's coming up with a decent clue that's the problem. Don't want to go down that road again ...

                                    Fair enough.

                                    I'll leave it another day before adding any more letters for anyone else.

                                      Is it (5,4,7) or (5,4,6) ? Your initial clue says the former, your follow-ups the latter.
