Cryptic crossword No 3,525

They just keep on coming! Makes me wonder how far ahead of the game you’re working with the ninas and the film watching. Maybe you’re just happy living on the edge?! Anyway, a great solve as ever with favourites including 7a, 9a, 11a, 3d, 4d, & 19d. Thanks for being Mr Reliable.

I found this a stroll after struggling with some of yours lately, it was great fun. Nina arrived early and was a great help, thanks Nina! Fave clue: 4d, very neat! I also liked 21a, 24a, 7d, 8d, 14d, 18d

Very nice puzzle this Gennaro. I enjoyed all the surfaces and constructions particularly 5a, 7a, 13a, 3d, 6d, 18d and 19d. I didn't know 12d but got it with the crossers and cluing. After getting 17d the film came into my head as a possibility, which I found in the grid but couldn't remember the lead character's name, it's a good film as I recall but alarmingly violent!

I'm late to commenting, Gennaro. Needless to say, I enjoyed this thoroughly and will follow up soon!

Very late to this, Gennaro, for which my apologies. Took a while to tease out the nina as the name was unknown to me. And the puzzle threw up a couple of tricky entries like 9a, 11a and 12d. Likes inc 10a, 13a, 2d, 6d, 16d and 17d. Thanks. PM

Hi Gennaro, I'm also late here but glad to have squeezed it in to the weekend. A few tricky words to enable the nina but I managed to get most of them. Favourites were 5a, 21a, 3d & 14d. One extra note...
