I LOVE A MAN IN UNIFORM
(aka A MAN IN UNIFORM)
Dir. David Wellington, 1993
Canada. 97 min.
English
Some ideas deserve more than one film, and more than one author, they should knock around the collective canon of cinema for awhile in work that is not so much derivative as conversational. I LOVE A MAN IN UNIFORM makes no secret of its debt to TAXI DRIVER and indeed uses the shadow of the latter work as just another border marking the alienation of its main character. In this Canadian film from 1993, Tom McCamus plays Henry Addler, a bank clerk trying to make it as a full time actor. Henry has just landed a reoccurring role on a TV police drama. To get into the part he takes his police uniform home and begins to walk the streets of Toronto looking for real life at its worst - and the goodness that only authority can sustain. Eventually, he also acquires a gun.
