Papillon is a 1973 epic historical drama prison film directed by Franklin J. Schaffner. Based on the 1969 autobiography by the French convict Henri Charrière, the screenplay by Dalton Trumbo and Lorenzo Semple Jr. The 1969 autobiography by the French convict Henri Charrière inspired the script. The film stars Steve McQueen as Charrière ("Papillon") and Dustin Hoffman as Louis Dega. Because of the excessive costs of the remote locations, the film was quite expensive for the time ($12 million), but it earned more than twice that in its first year of release. The film's title is French for "Butterfly," referring to Charrière's tattoo and nickname.
There was also a remake in 2017 that isn't a bad movie, but not at the same level as the classic one!
But why did I mention all this? Because the hidden traits of the 2023 Valentine's Day Limited Editions are the newest moth wings: Papillon Persian and papillon Monochrome!
