The cinematic relationship between Knopfler and Forsyth continued in 1984 with a smaller but no less touching film entitled Comfort and Joy.
Inspired by actual events in Glasgow, Scotland, the movie tells the story of radio disc jockey Alan ?Dickie? Bird (played by Bill Paterson), whose girlfriend leaves him just in time for the holidays. His depression is broken when he spies, then follows, a beautiful young woman in the back of an ice cream van. Through a bizarre series of events, Alan gets caught in a comical yet strangely ominous war between two family-run ice cream businesses. It?s up to him to play mediator and bring a resolution in time for Christmas.
Although Knopfler wrote three original pieces for the movie (?Comfort,? ?Joy,? and ?A Fistful of Ice Cream?), music from and references to the Dire Straits? album Love Over Gold is woven throughout the entire film.
