There was a controversy surrounding Pia Zadora's win of the Golden Globe for "Best New Star of the Year". 1982 was the only year the event included such a category with both men and women competing for it in the year. Previously, the Golden Globes had a gender delineation between New Star of the Year in a Motion Picture - Female and New Star of the Year in a Motion Picture - Male. This movie and her expensive advertising campaign for the award were financed by then husband Meshulam Riklis, who invited several members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to an expensive trip to Las Vegas to enjoy Riklis hotels, casino and the spectacular live shows. 1983 was the last year the New Star category was used, just like in its original format, and later on was discontinued.
The movie was based on one of source author James M. Cain's most controversial novels.
Pia Zadora was the first actress to win back-to-back consecutive Razzie Awards winning first for Worst Actress for this film then won the same award the next year for The Lonely Lady (1983).
This movie was made and released about thirty-five years after its source novel "The Butterfly" by James M. Cain was first published in 1947. This movie adaptation dropped the word "the" from the book's title.
The setting of the source James M. Cain novel was changed from Appalachia to Nevada and Arizona for this movie. According to actor Stacy Keach, screenwriter John Goff and writer-producer-director Matt Cimber changed the book's setting of Appalachia to Nevada in order to further expose the passions and motivations of the characters.
"Kady Tyler: That feels so good, Jess. Good, good hands... What's wrong? Jess Tyler: It ain't right. Kady Tyler: Feels good to me. Does it to you? Jess Tyler: It just ain't right. Kady Tyler: It's right if it's good. Jess Tyler: You're my daughter, Kady. Kady Tyler: I'm a woman, too."
"Jess Tyler: [hot day, and now a barefoot, bare-legged blond sits waiting on his porch] Miss? Kady Tyler: Hello. Jess Tyler: Something you want? Kady Tyler: [appraising him] How can I tell if I don't know what you got? Jess Tyler: [takes off his hat, regarding her wearily] Maybe you're making a mistake. [comes up the steps] Jess Tyler: Maybe you're looking for somebody else's place. Not mine. [goes inside] Kady Tyler: I'm looking for you. Jess Tyler: How do you know? [comes out again with milk pail] Jess Tyler: You ain't seen me before. Kady Tyler: You're Jess Tyler. Jess Tyler: Who are you? Kady Tyler: Just somebody you might like to know. Jess Tyler: I don't like people making fun. [leaves to milk cow] Kady Tyler: Maybe I'm not."
