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.

_The Great War and Modern Memory_ by Paul Fussel is a great book about the changes wrought on society at every level by WWI. Both a work of scholarship and a scream from the heart (Fussel lost his best friend in combat during WWII).
The movie _Gods and Monsters_ makes this connection wrt James Whale, director of _Frankenstein_.
