Alex in Wonderland?
Yes, well done.
Alex is the (correct) name by which Johnson is known by his family and as a student and reference to “off with his head”.
For some reason I’m reminded of Churchill’s famous phrase about a riddle rapped in a mystery inside an enigma. Next:
Sugary drink for the domestic help?
Sweet Charity
Not that one Devo but you’re in the right decade.
Manhattan Maid?
Whoops… wrong decade!
Charade?
Yes, well done PR. Clue written in English but pronounced in French for the film title. Features the excellent Walter Matthau.
Over to you…
Thanks Amac. Next: Savage before the singer comes back.
Sorry think made this too difficult Should have been: Savage before Jolson returns.
Cruella?
Yes Amac - all yours.
Funnily enough I listened to a review of that film as I was driving home today - they weren’t very complimentary.
Next:
Immerse with anger.
This clue is a single word with two synonyms joined together. The film had 9 Oscar nominations and won 3.
Dunkirk?
That’s it PR, well done.
Dunk = immerse
Irk = anger, hence Dunkirk.
Over to you.
Thanks Amac. Next: Crossing the Atlantic? No chance!
Goodbye Columbus?
No Amac
The cast consisted of many Oscar winners.
