Whale's Death Was the Most Dramatic One of His Career as He Made Several Films that Would Become Landmark Films and He Would Become One of Those Famous Films where Every Scene Was Cut from a Film that Was Shot a Decade Apart from the Rest


 65 Years Ago Today There Was Only One Way to Peace

Wednesday 29th of May 1957
Film director James Whale known for the film ‘Frankenstein’ commits suicide by drowning in his swimming pool at the age of 68 in Hollywood, California, United States.
Born into a mixed race family, Whale played a wealthy man with long life, including a successful career in Hollywood. Whale's death was the most dramatic one of his career, as he made several films that would become landmark films and he would become one of those famous films where every scene was cut from a film that was shot a decade apart from the rest. Most of those cut scenes were never released (although a handful of scenes never really made it on DVD). Whale wrote the screenplay for most of Whale's movies. He also created many other scripts for Whale's movies. The first script for Whale's movie was shot in 1948, for "The Dream of a Man". The "Dream of a Man" was directed by William L. Ebbins (see also film credits "A Man From Another Earth") and made its theatrical debut in theaters on July 30, 1953. "A Man From Another Earth" has not made it out of theaters and the production only reached theaters in theaters around the world. In a 1977 interview, Christopher Nolan said "In these days of super-labor unions, we see this as the beginning of the end, and that we'll all be able to move on."
