Producer-director-cowriter Matt Cimber, known heretofore mainly as a soft-core filmmaker and a master of wringing out big production values from tiny means, again does a lot with a slim budget of less than $2 million.

TV Guide
Butterfly is a decrepit lust-in-the-dust melodrama with as much relevance and far less humor than Tobacco Road.

...Most entertainingly sleazy....A camp classic.

...[The camerawork] enhances the desert locales....Zadora, in her screen debut, has most of the picture's best moments and registers well...

Product Description:
Based on James M. Cain's novel about an attractive young woman in the Nevada silver mining region in the 1930's who uses her alluring sensual qualities to manipulate the men in her life. Her seductive propensities are even extended to her father.
Description by Ryko Distribution:
James M. Cain's (Mildred Pierce, Double Indemnity) once-shocking 1946 novel …has been turned into a most entertainingly sleazy melodrama…Jess Tyler, played in good, legitimate, laconic style by Stacy Keach, is now a desert hermit, left to guard an abandoned silver mine. ..after years of isolation, (Jess) is suddenly confronted by the return of his long-lost daughter Kady(Pia Zadora) who, as a baby, had been taken away by Belle (Lois Nettleton), Jess's wife, along with an older daughter. It's the premise of ''Butterfly'' that Kady is every father's most forbidden dream come true - an available, slutty, innocent, trampish daughter-The movie looks parched and dry, everything so dusty and unwashed you can almost smell it in a way that Cain might have appreciated. - Vincent Canby, The New York Times.
