Synopsis
Caine plays a man on holiday in Rio with his best friend. Both men have teenage daughters with them. When Caine falls for the amorous daughter (played by Michelle Johnson) of his best friend, they embark on a secret, if slightly one-sided relationship. Johnson's father is furious when he finds out about the 'older man' in his daughter's life, and sets out to hunt him down with the aid of Caine!
Awards

Critics' reviews
- "Caine looks embarrassed through the entire film, as well he might."
- "For the most part 'Blame It on Rio' is witless, predictable and bland, despite Donen's fascination with the topless-beach scene (his camera combs the shore for breasts with the unsubtle fervor of a pig rooting for truffles)"
- "It's one of those unfortunate projects that somehow suggests that everyone connected with the movie hated it and all of the other people involved."
- "Offputting, even at times nasty."
- Remake from french film "Un moment d'égarement", directed by Claude Berry in 1977. In year 2015 there was another french remake directed by Jean-François Richet, starring Vincent Cassel and François Cluzet.
