Arrow Video USA nets a BLOODSTAINED BUTTERFLY (review)

Duccio Tessari's stylish and underrated thriller THE BLOODSTAINED BUTTERFLY comes to Blu-ray from a new 4K restoration.  When a French schoolgirl is murdered in a Lombardy public park, suspicion points to the sportscaster father of her best friend.  As the evidence mounts against him and he is found guilty, similar murders have the police doubting that they caught the right man.  Helmut Berger, Carole Andre, and Silvano Tranquilli star.
