from
Wikipedia
Born into a large family in Dudley, England, Whale early discovered his artistic talent and studied art.
He was captured by the Germans and during his time as a prisoner of war he realized he was interested in drama.
His success directing the 1928 play Journey's End led to his move to the United States, first to direct the play on Broadway and then to Hollywood to direct motion pictures.
Whale lived in Hollywood for the rest of his life, most of that time with his longtime companion, producer David Lewis.
Including Journey's End ( 1930 ), Whale directed a dozen films for Universal Studios between 1930 and 1936, developing a style characterized by the influence of German Expressionism and a highly mobile camera.
