Page "James Whale" Paragraph 46

Whale's companion David Lewis stated flatly that Whale's sexual orientation was " not germane " to his filmmaking.

" Jimmy was first and foremost an artist, and his films represent the work of an artist — not a gay artist, but an artist.

" Whale's biographer Curtis rejects the notion that Whale would have identified with the Monster from a homosexual perspective, stating that if the highly class-conscious Whale felt himself to be an antisocial figure, it would have been based not in his sexuality but in his origin in the lower classes.
