**Shodan** You got that one right. The quote “and they used Bon Ami !!!” is from _The Ghost and Mr Chicken_. Granted it isn’t a cinematic masterpiece, but that one joke is priceless and makes the movie worth seeing. If nothing else, it probably boosted the sale of Bon Ami by a couple of hundred per cent. 🙂 and TvTime - “Magnificent Seven” ? ---
