anagram help
 
i've been set by a friend of deciphering this anagram:

hurt after shave gun

it is a film title, but how many letters and words there are in the film is unknown. im guessing there is at least one "the" in there though...

any help? please? :)

As this is a task set by a so called friend, I think it would be churlish of members of this forum to make your life easier and give you the answer. :nono: :PP:

Of course you will post the answer when you find out so the rest of us are put out of our misery :dunce: :D

Hmm, wonders if there is a clue in that the anagram is posed by a member of the female persuasion, and thus the type of film they might prefer :scratch:

i am beginning to think more and more that it is saturday night fever, and she got the word wrong. well thats what im gonna say anyway :)

You can make at least the following 10 letter words from it
. Aftershave
. Guarantees
. Unsaturate
. Nervatures
. Restaurant
. Hearthrugs

None of which helps i'm afraid

Online anagram engines were not much help even when hinted - I thought perhap it was "avengers" or "savage".
