A nice sleazy noir film based on a JAMES M CAIN novel that I read a long time ago. STACY KEACH plays a silver miner living alone in the desert wilderness. the arrival of his long lost sexy daughter KADY (PIA ZADORA), born of a cheating wife who left him for another man, arouses intense sexual desire between father and daughter. But then, is KADY really his daughter? What about the butterfly shaped birth mark on his daughter's kid that is similar to the one on her stepfather?
This is a great film of place. Places like NEVADA and its incestuous inhabitants do not seem to inspire Hollywood anymore. The score by MORRICONE is very memorable. I love films with such rural American characters.
One drawback - ZADORA was not sexy enough. But KEACH is a solid actor. There is ORSON WELLES who acts as the judge who holds a trial when father and daughter are accused of incest. The director MATT CIMBER seems to have made a career out of making such sleazy films. I recommend it.
(7/10)
