Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring 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).
- GoofsIn 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.
- Quotes
Inspector Berardi: Because, in the way I see it, the killer could only be one of two types. Either a person who was seized by a sudden impulse and in all probability has no police record, or else, a sex maniac.

Featured review
"Let's Not Worry about That Now, I'm Too Happy!"...
A young woman is stabbed to death in a park, and the killer gets away. Soon, a suspect is apprehended and, after a lengthy trial, imprisoned for the crime.
However, the case is hardly open-and-shut, as we are introduced to characters with mixed motives, and made privy to certain facts that toss everything into confusion! Then, another murder is committed in a similar fashion, and someone begins taunting the police. This isn't the last homicide, either!
THE BLOODSTAINED BUTTERFLY is an excellent giallo, packed with suspense, mystery, red herrings, some unexpected twists, and a unique denouement!
Co-stars Helmut Berger as Giorgio, the rather strange son of a millionaire...
