Short description

It's 1957, and James Whale's heyday as the director of "Frankenstein," "Bride of Frankenstein" and "The Invisible Man" is long behind him. Retired and a semi-recluse, he lives his days accompanied only by images from his past. When his dour housekeeper, Hannah, hires a handsome young gardener, the flamboyant director and simple yard man develop an unlikely friendship, which will change them forever.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film was shot in just 24 days.
  • The film features five original drawings by James Whale.
  • In real life, James Whale wrote a suicide note before jumping into the pool, assuring his loved ones that he was not depressed, but simply wanted to end his constant physical suffering.
  • The final scene, where Clay Boone stumbles through his alley like Frankenstein's monster, was suggested to screenwriter and director Bill Condon by Brendan Fraser.
