Movie propaganda

He left it all behind for the sun, the samba and the girl from Rio.

Discovering your wife is sleeping with your boss can make a man do some very strange things!

For Samba-obsessed London bank clerk Raymond (Hugh Laurie), robbing a bank and boarding a plane bound for Rio are just the beginning!

He's on the trail of Orlinda (Vanessa Nunes), the fabulous dancer who graces the font cover of Samba montly, Raymond's favourite magazine.

But while Raymond searches for Orlinda, the local gangsters have become aware of this big-spending Englishman and are hot on his trail...

Theatrical report

A harmless but slightly uninteresting story about an Englishman who is sick of the grey London life and seeks excitement in exotic Rio de Janeiro. Contains some Samba. Nowhere near as good as Bossa Nova.
