WATCH - BLAME IT ON RIO

There are several movies that I return to again and again, not because they are particularly good, but nostalgiac. One of those is the 1984 sex farce, Blame it on Rio starring Michael Caine, Joseph Bologna, Valerie Harper, Michelle Johnson, and Demi Moore, co-written by Larry Gelbart and directed by the late, great Stanley Donen.

The film, which some people consider to be an unofficial remake of the French film Un moment d'égarement ("A Moment of Distraction") shares the plotof a man having an affair with his best friend's daughter while on vacation. Sexual misunderstandings, campy comedy and lots of female nudity made this the perfect film when I saw it for the first time at thirteen.

Enjoy!
