Paper Mask (1990)
Country: GB
Technical: col 105m
Director: Christopher Morahan
Cast: Paul McGann, Amanda Donohoe, Tom Wilkinson
Synopsis:
Acquiring the identity of a bona fide medic thanks to an accident, a hospital nurse dons a mask and begins treating patients in the hospital where he works. However, his sketchy knowledge and performance practice awaken the suspicions of a female colleague.
Review:
It might have been better if the protagonist's motive was less ambition than the wish to help overstretched hospital personnel, but as it is we hold little sympathy for this character, which McGann lends his trademark sweat and glazed look.
