Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼Prepare the pearls for clutching! What could “A film unlikely to have a costume designer” be? A low-budget indie? A dystopian sci-fi with identical drab gray uniforms? Of course not. It’s a PORNO. This is the 22nd showing of PORNO in a Times crossword (since its 1976 debut, clued as “Adult-bookshop offering”). Porn, which is slightly more common at 26 appearances, is the “uncountable” noun that means pornography in general. PORNO technically refers to a single movie (as specified in this clue). I enjoyed this clue’s juxtaposition with 1A, “Place with dressing options,” because the solution to 1A could be a punchline from a PORNO. “You want dressing options?! Try a SALAD BAR.” Bom chicka wow wow.
