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.

Notes
As we have come to expect, Ian McKellen, as James Whale, is terrific· Why are aging eccentric film masters so perfect as movie heroes?

Oscar: Best Writing, Screenplay Based on material previously produced or published - Bill Condon
