Synopsis |
Hollywood history comes to life in
this tale of the last days of
Frankenstein director James Whale,
played by Sir Ian McKellen. Long
forgotten by the studios, Whale has
retired to pursue painting and a
life of leisure. Gods and Monsters
explores his final fascination with
a handsome gardener, Clayton Boone
(Brendan Fraser).
Clay is impressed when he learns
that his new employer was once a
successful Hollywood director. Clay
is flattered by Whale's desire to
paint his portrait. He's not sure
exactly what the old man sees in
him. Hanna (Lynn Redgrave), is
Whale's live-in housekeeper. She's
the one who hired Clay in the first
place – now she's worried about the
combination she helped to create.
Betty (Lolita Davidovich) is Clay's
sometime girlfriend. She thinks
there's something strange going on
between Clay and Whale. |
