Question
Hi,
Over 30 years ago, when I was 5 or 6, I watched a movie that had me rolling on the floor hysterically. I have not seen it again since, but would really like to. I only remember a few small details about it, but I am hoping you have seen it and can help with the title. The main character drove an ice cream truck with the words "The Good Humor Man" written on the side of it. I believe he witnessed a crime or something like that and the criminals were trying to get rid of him. At one point someone (maybe him, maybe one of the criminals) ended with the slide from a trombone over his head and someone was pulling the slide back and forth. That's all I remember, please help if you can. Thanks in advance.

Answer
sorry, i have researched this for some time and have not been able to come up with anything.

i really need more information if you can recall anything else about the film that you remember.

off the top of my head, it sounds like a laurel and hardy plot/sub-plot but w/o more info i cannot be sure.

sorry.

I know funny. My husband knows slapstick. between the two of us, we know most of the funny movies and who stars/directed them. we`re particularly fond of movie bloopers, and can recite verbatim from films like caddyshack, meatballs, animal house etc. huge bill murray fans, as well as robin williams and steve martin.
