Best line: "make love to me" "I'm 20 years older than you!" "28." "..........25?"
Two things first of all:
1 - This film is a wrong un. Just think about these statements - "The first time I kissed you, it was at your christening" or "I used to have such a crush on your Father" ".............me too" (spoken by his daughter!!) before heading in.
2 - Caines floating disembodied head and collar in that poster above.
It would be fair, and I don't think Mike would disagree with this, to say that Caine was slumming it on a regular basis at this point in his career. Had he slummed it any further in this film, he might as well have filmed it in the Favela. The script must have read decently enough, being rather snappy with the one liners, but this doesn't translate too well onto the screen.
The film purports to be a bright comedy of errors for the family to chuckle along to............or is it the unwitting document of something else?
We open with scenes of harrowing nightmarish figures, writhing in pastel turmoil, the product of mental torment, perhaps brought by the effects of a neon sleeping environ?
Then cut to a figure - nervous looking. rambling. confessional.
The tale then unfolds of Caines "unwilling" seduction by his best friends daughter on a family trip to Rio in a time of marital stress and the wife not being around.

"I am not someone who hangs around schoolyards in a raincoat!"
He's innocent. He fell into it. He tried to stop it from continuing!
CONFESS.
CONFESS
Along the way, theres some wonderful showdown between the two fathers, forced into sharing a bed for the night and full of mutual loathing.
GIMME SOME!
GIMME HALF!!!
Random grooving bongo dudes
And.......er.........gentlemen being shaved in the street.
Outfit of the film.
Caine seeks professional help (rightly!) and is correctly dressed for the ceremony.
