**_Kitschy, groovy late 60s spy-adventure with Richard Wyler and an army of hot feminazis_** A handsome man on a mission in Rio (Richard Wyler) is caught between a mobster (George Sanders) & his heavies (Herbert Fleischmann) and a femme fatale (Shirley Eaton) who wants to rule the world with her army of machine gun-fortified feminazis. Released in 1969, "The Girl from Rio" (aka "Rio 70") is the second part of a duology after "The Million Eyes of Sumuru" (1967), which I've never seen and you don't need to view in order to appreciate (or withstand) this one. "The Girl from Rio" is a tacky late 60's spy-adventure that combines elements of "That Man from Rio" (1964), Franco's "Kiss Me, Monster" (1969), "Invasion of the Bee Girls" (1973) and Bond flicks of the same period, albeit without the budget and compelling script. If you have a taste for those types of movies you'll probably enjoy "Rio." Like "Kiss Me" and "Invasion" there's a lot of filler and the corresponding tedious sequences. A full 35 minutes of the runtime could've (and should've) been cut to make the movie more enthralling, but then it wouldn't be "feature length," which is why filmmakers add dull filler material. What makes a movie like this worthwhile is the late 60's chic, the outlandish spy rudiments and the females. Eaton, the gold-painted girl from "Goldfinger" (1965) leads the way on the latter front with capable assist from Marta Reves (Ulla), Beni Cardoso (Yana), Elisa Montés (Irene) and Maria Rohm (Lesley). In an interview Eaton said she wept on the plane home from Rio because filmmaking was so exhausting and she desperately wanted to be with her husband & children. It was understandably her last film. It runs 1 hour, 34 minutes, and was shot in (aduh) Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with studio work done in Spain. GRADE: C
This movie was more softcore porn than an actual movie and it was more long pointless camera shots than it was anything else. The characters are near pointless, the acting terrible, the story confusing - I really think this was just to show women in skimpy costumes. I barely got through it with the Rifftrax commentary which at least provided something entertaining in this weird film.
The sideboob and latex henchwoman outfits are like, 80% of the reason to watch this movie. ...We should bring silk capes back.
