Based on a surreal short story by the nineteenth century Russian writer Nikolai Gogol, The Nose is set in London in an indeterminate era (photographed in period black and white by Stephen Blackman). Walter Gotell plays a miserly lawyer who loses his nose after being shaved by paranoid barber Tony Collin. The disembodied nose subsequently turns up to haunt both men in this nightmarish and comic moral tale.
