Just one to go and one that needs an explanation. 12A: Take off a bad film [4] S?I?. Then 17A: Fish shows midday vivacity - inactive minnow finally caught [7] A?E?I?E. I think the answer is ALEWIFE - a fish with the final letter of minnow but I do not entirely understand. An explanation [or a correction] would be appreciated. Thank you
