That Man From Rio

	That Man From Rio
	by Lopert Pictures Corporation Sales Rank: 12062 Price: $19.98

Having grown up reading Hergé's Tintin adventures, I was thrilled to see his/their influence in this wonderful rollercoaster ride of a movie. The great actor Jean-Paul Belmondo is in fine form, and the look of many scenes as well as many plot points can all be traced directly to Tintin albums. <br /> <br />The movie has the fun 1960's feel to it, with the 60's colors, musical soundtrack, etc. Don't let the fact that you have to sit through English subtitles put you off from enjoying this fun French film. <br /> <br />My only regret is that it is not out on DVD in the U.S. This gem of a film deserves Special Edition treatment, perhaps with extras tying it into to specific Tintin albums? Bring on a DVD release! *Viewer Reviews* Much has been written about Philippe de Broca's « L'homme de Rio ». That Hergé's « Tintin » albums inspired the film. That, when Spielberg wanted to adapt « Tintin » to the big screen, it was because of « L'Homme de Rio » in mind ; that, when he created Indiana Jones instead, he was again inspired by « L'Homme de Rio ». « L'Homme de Rio » is a blessed movie : the perfect blend of adventure and comedy ; so much chemistry between the two lead actors that it works even when the script tears them apart, i.e. during most of the film ; great pacing, only surpassed by nearly miraculous sense of timing. Movie was released on 1963, therefore probably shot in 1962. Brazil still was a land of wonders on the other side of the world. The sights of Copacabana and Corcovado were not worn out postcards. Rio was no poster-city for drugs, violence and « favelas ». Jean-Paul Belmondo could befriend a young boy without suspicions of pedophilia.
