While his other films, including a fine version of the musical Show Boat (1936), have fallen into near-obscurity, James Whale’s classic horror films have ensured his place in the canon through their definitive portrayals of the central characters and situations.

Viewers wishing to know more about this fascinating figure, and his life and films, are encouraged to seek out Bill Condon’s superlative biopic Gods and Monsters (1998), which proved sadly unavailable for this brief celebration of the director’s key work.
