Note: The talk page previously at this location contained discussion only of the radio personality James Whale, so I have moved it to the corresponding location. --Paul A 02:19, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Whale's Frame of Mind At Time Of Suicide
I tagged the "Suicide" section requesting citations of credible sources that give insight into Whale's frame of mind at the time of his suicide. I am sure most of his reasons for being depressed and suicidal (loneliness, ill health, memory problems) are perfectly true, but I do wonder about the statement that "he had trouble putting the war [World War One] behind him". Without any citations by biographers, one might be tempted to believe the Wiki article's source for believing he had troubling memories about WWI was the movie "Gods and Monsters", which portrays him remembering the war in his last days. Since "Gods and Monsters" is a partially fictionalized depiction of Whale's last days, these scenes cannot be taken as factual without some other verification. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmyers1976 (talk • contribs) 17:18, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
