Comfort and Joy (1984 film)

Bill Paterson Eleanor David Clare Grogan

A few days before Christmas, Glasgow radio disc jockey Allan Dicky Bird is stunned when Maddy Eleanor David, his kleptomaniac girlfriend of four years, suddenly announces that she is moving out. His doctor friend Colin Patrick Malahide tries to console him, but Bird is heartbroken.One day, he goes for a drive to take his mind off his troubles. Noticing an attractive girl, Charlotte Clare Grogan, in the back of a Mr. Bunny ice cream van, he follows it under a railway bridge on a whim and when the van stops, purchases an ice cream cone. As in Alice in Wonderland, the protagonist has followed a rabbit through a tunnel, with sometimes bizarre consequences. To his amazement, three men drive up and proceed to smash up the van with baseball bats. The occupants retaliate with squirts of raspberry sauce. By sheer chance, Bird finds himself involved in a turf war between rival Italian ice cream vendors the young interloper Trevor Alex Norton and the older, more established Mr. McCool Roberto Bernardi. ........
