BUTTERFLY

title: BUTTERFLY
year: 1982
cast: Stacy Keach, Pia Zadora, Orson Welles
rating: *

Wow this is bad, and not even fun/bad. An all-dialog mess with Pia Zadora who isn't exactly a great actress (how on earth did she win a Golden Globe for this?) with Stacy Keach who IS a great actor but there's nothing interesting going on. Pia, a damn cute girl with really cool hair plays a.... damn cute girl with really cool hair who returns to her estranged father, Keach, in a small town where he lives on a broken down silver mine and they flirt incestually. This is Tennesse Williams in hell. Orson Welles has a cameo as a judge. Not much here of anything. This butterfly should have been squashed as a caterpilar.
