Movie Haiku:Old & ill, James Whale, director of the FRANKENSTEIN films, is a homosexual pariah in the conservative Hollywood of the mid-50’s. When a new gardener appears, Whale sees a resemblance to his famous creation & begs for relief. Ian McKellan should have received an Oscar in 1999; the screenplay did.
