And there it is. Congrats **ShibbOleth**! Thought I’d go for one of those elegant answers with the actors that played the family Jones (even if two of them are the same character), and ended up finding a way to put them in each others paths. I was kind of surprised no-one suggested _Last Crusade_ in the first round of actors too, seeing as they were all there. Nicely played 🙂 ---

Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher and Charles Durning were all involved in some business. Some Red Shoe business. With Edward Herrmann, perhaps? ---
