Comfort and Joy
Why this pick
Another beautifully offbeat Forsyth comedy: everyday Glasgow becomes a playground for deadpan misunderstandings, quirky alliances, and the same humane, low-key charm.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Gregory Underwood (John Gordon Sinclair) is an awkward teenager who plays in his school Association football team. They are not doing very well, so the coach (Jake D'Arcy) holds a trial to find new players. Dorothy (Dee Hepburn) shows up and, despite the coach's sexist misgivings, proves to be a very good player. She subsequently takes Gregory's place as centre forward, and Gregory in turn replaces his friend Andy Robert Buchanan (actor)) as goalkeeper.
