Gallic film maker Claude Glenn Miller’s This Henry Sweet illness is establish on a suspense novel by Patricia Highsmith, of stranger on a railroad train celebrity. In the original, the murder-protagonist was a psychotic, pure and simple (if such words are appropriate here!) In Glenn Miller’s version, the ‘hero,’ Saint David, is a hapless animal, motivate by humiliation and sexual insufficiency; therefore the accent is not on his flagitious crime but on his warped personality. The manager’s noirish determination to present much of the action in the darkness, or the rainfall, or both, is a mathematical function of Saint David’s deep depression. As in his other movie, Glenn Miller use H2O as an portent of immorality; you’ ve seldom see a to a greater extent fateful swim pool than the one in This Henry Sweet illness. The movie was originally let go of as Dites-lui que je l’ aime.
