About this product
Product Information
Based on Christopher Bram's novel FATHER OF FRANKENSTEIN, Bill Condon's semi-fictional 1998 sleeper stars Sir Ian McKellen in a fantastic performance as director James Whale (FRANKENSTEIN, BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, SHOW BOAT). It is 1957, and Whale is living in semiseclusion in Southern California with his scrutinizing maid, Hannah (Lynn Redgrave). His health is failing, and he is able to do little but lounge around and contemplate his younger days--his many male loves, his days in WWI, and the film world that has forsaken him. When Whale first gazes upon his musclebound gardener, Clay (Brendan Fraser), however, it is the beginning of an unusual (and platonic) friendship. Seasoned with multiple flashbacks to the sets of his films and to the battlefield, GODS AND MONSTERS is a haunting and touching look at the life of a man who was at the top of the Hollywood hierarchy but soon found himself out of favor--and the offbeat friendship he formed in his final days. McKellen and Redgrave were both nominated for Oscars, and the film garnered one statue for Best Adapted Screenplay.Product Identifiers

Gods & Monsters - fantastic performances
Ian McKellan stars as the legendary Dudley born film difector James Whale with Brendan Fraser as an imagined character based on real figures in Whales' latter life. It tells the tale, based on the horror director's actual final days, of his physical and mental pain & anguish leading up to his tragic death. Beautifully acted out by McKellan, with characters from his famous Universal 'Frankenstein' series of films making appearances in interesting filmmaking scenes. A must see for film makers and film fans equally. JDSVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great movie
Great film great actors- Hugely enjoyable what I call a B O A T S- based on a true story. It is basically a three hander and found it very engrossing. Added it to my collection and will watch it again. Well done Ian Mckellan, Brendan Frass and Lynn Redgrave. The direction and writing by Bill Brandon and in the writing Christopher Bram (who wrote the original novel) were of the highest standard. Watch and enjoy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
