Nose and Tina

Nose and Tina is a Canadian short documentary film, directed by Norma Bailey and released in 1981.

[1] The film profiles Dorian "Nose" Ozykowski and Linda "Tina" Migwams,[2] a brakeman and a prostitute in Winnipeg who are in a romantic relationship with each other, which is tested when one of Tina's clients physically assaults her, leading Nose to face criminal charges after he finds and beats the client up in retaliation.

[1] Bailey was inspired to contact the couple and make the film after reading an article about the arrest in the newspaper.

[2] Larry Krotz of The Globe and Mail wrote that "Miss Bailey has dealt competently with a tough subject.

There is strength in the authenticity of the movie; these are real people quite courageously, if a bit self-consciously, playing themselves.
