Why is the second 'H' capitalized?
Can anyone who has seen this film (or anyone who hasn't) explain why the second H is capitalized in "HealtH"?
And while I'm at it, R.I.P. Henry Gibson ... and Robert Altman.

My guess is that because HealtH is actually an acronym ("Happiness, Energy and Longevity through Health")that utilizes the acronym within itself (through the repetition of the word "Health"), the second H is capitalized. There's a weird logic operating here, but I think it makes some sense.
shareThanks for the reply. Your explanation makes perfect sense from the somewhat twisted logic often used for acronyms. The "H's" sort of serve as supports to hold the word up. OK, now I'm overthinking it. I really need to track this film down.
Sort of like the USA PATRIOT Act, which was supposed to be in all caps and stood for (Googling here): Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act. Suddenly HealtH doesn't seem all that bad, eh?
I think IMDb is going by the film's title screen, where the logo is designed to appear as it does on a sign seen in the film. I refuse to capitalize the second H when I mention this movie because it just looks dumb. ;)

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering if the uses of the "H" as bookends were supposed to represent field goals or something.
I generally hate those stylizations for titles -- "Se7en," "Scre4m," "Hoodwinked Too!" -- except when they serve a valid point: "BUtterfield 8," where the "BU" is the telephone exchange.
Someday I'll actually be able to find this film and comment on more than just the title. ;-)
