This week we watched Gods and Monsters, directed by Bill Condon. This movie was about the real life director James Whale who was an openly gay man in the 1950s and his interactions with his gardener Clayton right before he passed away. This is a great movie if you love bio-pics!
Movie Summary - Once a powerful Hollywood director best known for "Frankenstein" and "The Bride of Frankenstein," James Whale (Ian McKellen) is long since retired and in increasingly poor health. His stalwart housekeeper, Hanna (Lynn Redgrave), quietly disapproves of Whale's faceless, nameless parade of young gay lovers, but when the director takes an interest in new gardener Clayton Boone, a former Marine and Korean War veteran, it seems to be for something more than his usual casual conquest.
