After his first two features in the early 60s (The Love Game, The Five-Day Lover), Philippe de Broca, a former assistant to Francois Truffaut and Claude Chabrol, was taken by some to be a member of the French New Wave—an impression that was quickly undermined by the glossy commercial fare that followed, including this enjoyable 1964 thriller romp with Jean-Paul Belmondo and Francois Dorleac. If memory serves, this is swell light entertainment—there's a nice score by Georges Delerue, and the original screenplay was nominated for an Oscar—designed to autodestruct as soon as you see it.

Sorry there are no showtimes for That Man From Rio on Saturday, November 21.
