Pia Zadora stars in an over-cooked melodramatic adaptation of the 1946
James M. Cain novel that is every bit as smutty and sleazy as
Zadora's vampish character of
Kady. The location of the novel has been switched from Appalachia to the barren lands of Arizona and Nevada in 1937.
Stacy Keach plays
Jess Tyler, a desert hermit who has spent years guarding an abandoned silver mine. Suddenly,
Jesse is confronted by his very grown-up and sexy daughter, who, when she was a baby, had been taken away from him by his wife,
Belle (
Lois Nettleton).
Kady, it so happens, hasn't come home for a family reunion -- she has just been dumped by a rich young man who is the father of her illegitimate child and whose family owns the very silver mine that
Jess is guarding.
Kady hopes to use her feminine wiles to seduce
Jess and reopen the mine and extract the money from the earth that she feels is due her from the family. As if his seductive daughter walking around bare-breasted in front of him isn't enough,
Jess must also deal with the sudden return of his older daughter,
Janey (
Ann Dane), who appears with
Kady's son;
Belle, who comes back to
Jess dying of tuberculosis; and
Moke Blue (
James Franciscus), the man who stole
Belle away from
Jess years ago. Also squeezing his way into
Jess's shack is
Wash Gillespie (
Edward Albert), the father of
Kady's child, who now wants to marry her.
Butterfly also features
Orson Welles as
Judge Rauch.
