Synopsis
"The Icecream Man" is a 'feel good' story with period and
contemporary music:
nostalgic, humorous and true to life.
Set against the battlefields of North Africa and France, Cumberland and blitzed
Liverpool during WW2, the screenplay follows three sisters in their teens to their
early twenties and how their family survived the blitz, rationing and hardships
endured by so many.
The story reflects life at this time: war, work, blackouts, bombing.
But mainly the humour and the hope - that got them through each day.
Each sister finds the love of her life and we follow how each fell in love with
three very different men: an armaments expert, a Liverpool dock worker and an Italian
POW.
Two of the girls survive today.
One is my dear old mum.
