[Pia Zadora] won a Golden Globe Award for best new talent... It makes one wonder. Could the Hollywood foreign press have glue for brains?

RTAssociated PressJul 18, 2019

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

A most entertainingly sleazy melodrama.
