Butterfly is a 1982 American independent crime drama film co-written and directed by Matt Cimber, based on the 1947 novel The Butterfly by James M. Cain. The starring cast includes Stacy Keach, Pia Zadora, Lois Nettleton, Ed McMahon, James Franciscus, Edward Albert, and Orson Welles. The original music score was composed by Ennio Morricone.
Pia Zadora (born Pia Alfreda Schipani; May 4, 1954) [1] is an American actress and singer. She debuted a child actress on Broadway, in regional theater, and in the film Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964).
The Butterfly had a polarizing effect among contemporary critics, in which "reviewers were either violently pro or con" the novel. As to the promised "explosive" treatment of incest, the Chicago Sun reported that "the whole book is a phony scare" and Time remarked that The Butterfly was "about as incestuous as Tarzan of the Apes."
The film was shot in 1979 and released in 1982. In 1982, Cimber teamed with Pia Zadora on the caper film Fake-Out, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and starred Telly Savalas and Desi Arnaz, Jr. [32] He also directed the crime drama Butterfly, featuring Orson Welles and Stacy Keach, based on the novel The Butterfly by James M. Cain.
