Paper Mask (DVD)

Paul McGann (Withnail & I), Amanda Donohoe (The Lair of the White Worm) and Tom Wilkinson (In the Bedroom) star in this nail-biting suspense drama that takes a cynical look at the medical profession. Matthew Harris (McGann) is an unhappy intern at a London hospital who envies the staff doctors and their calling. "When a physician who resembles Matthew is killed in an auto accident, Matthew decides to assume his identity so "that he can attend an interview the dead man had scheduled for a post at a Bristol hospital. Matthew gets the job" and is now Dr. Simon Hennessey, working in the hospital emergency room. Directed by Christopher Morahan (Clockwise).
