Having originally recorded this movie, Blame It on Rio, a little more than 20 years ago on HBO, I finally got around to seeing it a few hours ago. I have to admit that the reason was to see some nudity of young women like those of Demi Moore and Michelle Johnson. Johnson certainly filled up nicely considering she was about 17 at the time while Moore seemed a little awkward with her hair covering her breasts up. Loved the way Ms. Johnson keeps teasing Michael Caine at the dinner table after they made love on the beach! Also loved Caine's covering his naked self with sand when a couple who are acquaintances with him meet him there. Ms. Johnson does reveal her amateurish acting skills when she attempts to confess her affair with a middle-age man (without IDing him) to Caine's best friend and her father, Joseph Bologna, but maybe she's supposed to sound like that. Anyway, this was a leisurely sex-romantic-travelogue comedy with some witty lines and visual touches provided by co-writer Larry Gelbart and director Stanley Donen. Also making the most of her part is Valerie Harper as Caine's wife who's considering a divorce. All in all, not hilarious except in parts but pretty enjoyable especially when focused on Caine and Ms. Johnson. I'm getting aroused just thinking about them...
