"That Man From Rio"
1964
Directed by Phillippe De Broca
Philippe
de Broca's caper comedy is a parody of
'60s Cold War thrillers. Jean-Paul Belmondo plays an air force pilot who
pursues a double agent and thief from Paris to Rio to dense jungles of the Amazon in
search of a valuable statuette. "Fantasy takes over, and Belmondo [outdoes] Fairbanks
in agility, Lloyd in cliffhanging, and Bond in indestructibility" (Brenda Davies, Monthly
Film Bulletin). Music by Georges Delerue. With Jean
Servais, Francoise Dorleac Adolfo Celi and Simone Renant. B&W, French with English
subtitles, 120 minutes.
