Product: Gods and Monsters (1998)
Rating: 5.0
One to watch...
The film deals with the old, ill - but sparkling and witty - horror-movie instructor, James Whale (played brilliantly by Ian McKellen) and the friendship he cultivates with his handsome, hunky gardener, Clayton Boone (played very well by Brendan Fraser. In my opinion it is the best performance in his career, so far.)The role as James Whale's housekeeper is a minor role, but well played and characterized (Lynn Redgrave).The interaction between McKellen and Fraser is what makes this film funny, witty, intelligent and touching. It has become a movie classic - do yourself a favour and watch it!
