Comfort & Joy (1984)

Gentle comedy directed by Bill Forsyth with that director's usual offbeat wit and strong sense of place. 

A local radio DJ (Bill Paterson) becomes involved in a dangerously escalating feud between two rival ice-cream companies. 

It’s funny, but with moments of drama. Claire Grogan (credited as C. P. Grogan) plays a young woman working in the Mr. Bunny ice cream van and doesn’t get enough lines of her own. 

As with Local Hero, the locations are evocative and there’s a keen intelligence to the script.
