That's... not really what I was getting at with James Whale. I mean, no, gay directors don't cram in subtext. Some would argue that they don't actually have to do anything special, and that queer artists, writers, and filmmakers don't have to do anything special in order to produce work that can then be read as queer. But more specifically, mad scientist creation stories are always coded as gay for a number of reasons, and combined with James Whale as director... well. Bride of Frankenstein has been widely analyzed with this in mind (as it is far campier than the original); here's (http://www.brightlightsfilm.com/19/19_bride1.html) one online analysis, but there are tons out there to be had.

Rick and Renault were pretty flirty, but yeah, I'd say that one is more fandom influence. (Rick/Ilsa/Victor OT3)

Ah, okay, I see now. (I seem to recall reading that same article a couple years ago...) Mad scientist tempts other mad scientist away from his wife so that the two of them can create another person. Yup.

Casablanca OT3...^_^ Part of me feels bad to be mentally subverting great films like that, but the other part of me is immensely amused.
