It's fun, in an imperialist, colonialist, patronizing, exotic-marginalized-foreigners way.

The fun feels forced almost all the way through "That Man From Rio," at least until the pure action and Belmondo's athleticism take over.

That Man From Rio is a crazy delight, a stylish, early-'60s pastiche that folds in every adventure-movie cliche you've ever seen, and possibly invents a few new ones.
