Indeed, but looking at the clue has a particular significance here ...

You mean the name is concealed in the clue? If so I can't see for looking..

It's to do with the dash in the clue, I think. Tar-ancalime?

Very easy cryptic clue? Oxymoron, anyone?

I think Turambar has it.... how silly of me... especially since it is a downer I know.... surely I am the world's least observant person...

Edit NB Alatar organises the sequence by sequence discussion of the movies

Turambar has it.

Alatar is the editor of the sequence-by-sequence discussion in the Movie forum, and his name is concealed in (partially consumed by) animal - a tarantula.

So you see. The answer was indeed staring you in the face ...

Take it away, Turambar.
