This was probably my most rapid completion of a Cinephile puzzle in donkey’s years. Unfortunately, I ended up guessing incorrectly at 4D so I can’t claim a correct solution! Plenty of double definition clues in the mix today.

A nice, tough puzzle from Nestor with some lovely clues. I have to admit I struggled with the NW and SW corners though and there are a few I don’t understand even after resorting to help!

We enjoyed this and just missed out 8 down, so it’s probably a good difficulty level for a daily puzzle. I particularly liked the surface readings of 9a, 10a, 3d and 12a. Update: thanks to Bryan for pointing out the theme, which I stupidly missed: WEST SIDE STORY is in the answers, along with the gangs (the JETS the SHARKS) and several songs (TONIGHT, MARIA, AMERICA, SOMEWHERE)

Prize puzzle from the Weekend FT of September 12
For the first time in a while I am faced with two clues that I cannot fully solve, 12A and 20D. I figure I have guessed the answers correctly but cannot see how the wordplay works.
