About Affaire in Rio de Janeiro
Claude, a wealthy man in his 30s, arrives in Rio de Janeiro to check out the plush and expensive brothels he's heard about. At one of them he meets Sonia, and the two are soon engaged in a hot and heavy relationship, making the rounds of Rio's fabulous night life. Claude is shocked, however, when he discovers that Sonia isn't just a beautiful prostitute he's patronizing--she's his long-lost daughter. He brings her back to his mansion in the United States, which he shares with his jealous girlfriend Silvia. Complications ensue.
Directed by Carlos Tobalina, Affaire in Rio de Janeiro leans on a strong ensemble — Carlos Tobalina, Phyllis Claire, María Pía — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1972.
