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.
Zadora's cover of the Shirley Ellis hit "The Clapping Song", recorded for the film score of The Lonely Lady in 1983, reached the U.S. top 40 (her only Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100), and in 1984 she had a hit duet with Jermaine Jackson titled "When the Rain Begins to Fall" from the movie Voyage of the Rock Aliens.
The film was Pia Zadora's second lead role in a feature. All her first three starring roles in films were financed by the company of her then husband Meshulam Riklis (the others were Butterfly and The Lonely Lady). [1] [2] Matt Cimber, who directed Butterfly, also made Fake Out. [3]
