Hollywood films...Papillon...One of the Most Adventurous films...in World Cinema!!! Papillon is a 1973 prison film directed by Franklin J. Schaffner, based on the best-selling autobiography by the French convict Henri Charrière. The film stars Steve McQueen as Henri Charrière (Papillon), and Dustin Hoffman as Louis Dega. Due to being filmed at remote locations, the film was quite expensive for the time ($12 million), but it readily earned more than twice that in the first year of public distribution. The films title is French for Butterfly, referring to Charrières tattoo and nickname. Goldsmith had his sixth Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score for this soundtrack. It was one of the American Film Institutes 250 nominated soundtracks for the top 25 American film scores. In 1974, the film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Music, Original Dramatic Score (Jerry Goldsmith) and a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture Actor, Drama (Steve McQueen).
