Comfort and Joy (1984)

Humoristična drama o muškarcu koji nakon što ga iznenada napusti voljena žena
proživljava osobnu krizu i želju da promijeni život, zbog čega se nađe u neobičnoj ulozi: ulozi posrednika između dviju zaraćenih proizvođača sladoleda.
Alan [Dicky Bird ( Bill Paterson) poznati je voditelj ranojutarnje emisije na jednoj od

glasgovskih radio postaja. Kada ga tjedan dana prije Božića sasvim iznenada ostavi

djevojka Maddie (Eleanor David), on pada u duboku depresiju iz koje ga pokušava izvući

njegov najbolji prijatelj Colin (Patrick Malahide), koji ga uvjerava da je to zapravo

mogućnost za novi početak života. Alan revalorizira svoje životne vrijednosti te

odlučuje postati ozbiljan novinar ali njegova odluka izaziva tek podsmijeh nadređenih.

Iako još pati za Maddie, Alan ipak malo-pomalo počinje gledati druge žene, te se tako

zagleda u lijepu prodavačicu sladoleda i slijedi njezin kombi kako bi od nje osobno kupio

sladoled. Prateći je, svjedoči napadu dvojice vandala koji joj potpuno unište

vozilo. Sutradan započinje amatersku istragu i otkriva da se radi o obračunu između

dva proizvođača sladoleda koji se bore za teritorij.

Writer/director Bill Forsyths follow-up to his best film, Local Hero, is another comic exploration of a man undergoing a personal crisis. In Local Hero, the American played by Peter Riegert finds himself enchanted by the people and ambience of a Scottish village he has been dispatched to purchase for an oil company. In Comfort and Joy, Alan (Bill Paterson) is a Glasgow radio disc jockey whose air name is the chirpy Dickey Bird. After Maddy, his girlfriend (Eleanor David), walks out on him at Christmas, hes spurred to re-evaluate his life. Looking for more meaningful work than spinning pop tunes and offering inane chatter to his geriatric listeners, Alan decides to make a radio documentary. He chances upon a local rivalry between two ice cream companies, who are sabotaging each others trucks in an effort to monopolize the market. Attracted to Charlotte (C.P. Grogan), the daughter of one of the company owners, Alan finds himself playing peacemaker rather than documentarian. That this
