Paper Mask

Paul McGann, Amanda Donohoe, and Tom Wilkinson star in this nail-biting suspense melodrama that takes a cynical look at the medical profession. Matthew Harris 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. He is assisted by friendly nurse Christine Taylor, who ends up falling in love with him, and who slowly figures out his secret. She helps him maintain his charade, even after he makes a fatal mistake and a patient dies, all leading to a chilling conclusion.
