Anecdotes
During pre-production, the film was promoted as an adaptation of an Edgar Wallace story. Less then two weeks before principal photography, the West German companies Rialto Film and Constantine Film (who were co-producing the movie) pulled out for unknown reasons, and any reference to Wallace was removed from the final film. The German connection is still reflected via Günther Stoll and Wolfgang Preiss, both stars of Rialto's Wallace adaptations (better known as 'krimi' films).

Gaffes
In the scene immediately following the credits, a woman with a couple of children playing in a park expresses concern that it's about to rain, pleading with the children repeatedly to stop their games and return home with her at once. A corpse rolls down in the bushes and the children turn around, only to see that the woman responsible for them has abandoned them, left in their dangerous circumstances, to run for the police.

Citations
Attorney Giulio Cordaro: We all know that in the park one finds a cesspool of voyeurs, thieves, homosexuals, and other unsavory types.

Great Twist

While walking through a park in a rainy day, the young Françoise Pigaut (Carole André) is stabbed to death by man wearing raincoat and hat. Inspector Berardi (Silvano Tranquilli) is assigned to investigate the case and soon the TV anchor Alessandro Marchi (Giancarlo Sbragia) becomes the prime suspect. His daughter Sarah Marchi (Wendi D'Olive) was Françoise's best friend and their common friend Giorgio (Helmut Berger) had a crush on Françoise. Alessandro's friend and attorney Giulio Cordaro (Günther Stoll) defends him in the court but Alessandro is found guilty and sent to prison. When two other women are murdered and it is found that Alessandro's wife Maria Marchi (Evelyn Stewart) is the lover of Giulio, the defense asks for mistrial and Alessandro has another trial. Who might be the killer?

"Una farfalla con le ali insanguinate", a.k.a. "The Bloodstained Butterfly", is a crime story with a great twist in the end. The suspenseful screenplay begins with the presentation of several characters and is confused, and the slow pace is tiresome. But the story is good, and the unexpected conclusion surprises the viewer. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Uma Borboleta com as Asas Ensanguentadas" ("A Butterfly with the Bloodstained Wings")
