    A nice, amusing and creative premise. I enjoyed <em>'Comfort and Joy'</em>. Bill Paterson heads events confidently as Alan, he's fun to watch in the lead. Patrick Malahide (<em>'Game of Thrones'</em>, <em>'Luther'</em>) 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....
