Other than the pacing and strange tone of the film, this is a perfectly crafted Forsyth adventure. Watch out, Mr. Bunny... or is it Miss Bunny? Ice cream mafioso's, brilliant.

A nice, amusing and creative premise. I enjoyed 'Comfort and Joy'. Bill Paterson heads events confidently as Alan, he's fun to watch in the lead. Patrick Malahide ('Game of Thrones', 'Luther') is in there too, while Alex Norton and Roberto Bernardi play their respective roles well. The pacing, to me at least, is a little off at around the midway point, but otherwise it's a pleasant film from 1984. Watch it if you get the opportunity.
