Movie Reviews of That Man From Rio / L' Homme De Rio - with ENGLISH subtitles (Import)
Movie Review: A Classic worth having.
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw That Man From Rio in a New York movie theatre when it was first released and fell madly in love with both stars. When I found this DVD I was delighted but surprised when it arrived and I discovered it was Russian. Even though it came with instructions as to how to get to the English subtitles I was afraid it would be dubbed from French into Russian and then translated into English. This was not the case. In fact the English subtitles were already on the screen and the characters speak French. (Jean Paul Belmondo speaking Russian would have been mind blowing but kind of funny.) The quality is excellent and the movie is still tremendous fun. Age has not diminished it at all.
This movie came out before the Harrison Ford "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series and has a sophistication and charm those movies lacked. Francoise Dorleac is radiant and delightful. The scene with her dancing on the beach in Rio is priceless, as is Belmondo's look of Gallic frustration. Dorleac had a sense of fun and mischief I have never seen in her more serious twin sister. Her early death was a great loss.
Belmondo is perfection. He is a brilliant physical comedian. His character often appears to be almost simple and yet he is indomitable in his determination to rescue Dorleac.
Belmondo moves like a panther. He is still about the sexiest thing on the screen even though there is only one kiss and not much more implied.
I did not remember this movie being so innocent and actually, very sweet, and yet so very, very funny at the same time. The writing is smart, the acting is consistently excellent and I am very glad I hunted down this DVD.
