Crazy Credits

Before the film begins the following can be read:
"This film is a fictional dramatization of certain events.
'Henry' is not intended to be an accurate portrayal of
a true story. The film is based partly on confessions
of a person named Henry, many of which he later
recanted. As to Otis and Betty, the film is fictional." See more »
