I’ll rephrase the clue to make it slightly easier:

The observations include a renowned US university...

Re: Cryptic Films

Ta. Here's a contrived one...

French woman's got her tail up at 10 Wycherley Avenue!

Re: Cryptic Films

No, Matilda would attract a completely different audience!

It has just occurred to me the clue is very slightly inaccurate so...

Woman's got her tail up at 10 Wycherley Avenue!

is better (which should be a clue in itself).

I ran the clue past my not-at-all cryptic crosswordy son and he got it in a minute. The only stumbling block being the penultimate reference which needs a biographical knowledge of dead entertainers.

Re: Cryptic Films

Don't know that film.
This film is the latest in a series with the same director for all of them but a different lead character.
