Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaUnofficially, this movie was heavily influenced by the Belgian cartoonist, Hergé and the Tintin adventures which he authored. Many specific plot points can be traced directly to specific Tintin books, and the general pacing of the story and certain visuals are all clearly inspired by Hergé's work.
- GoofsWhen De Castro receives Agnes, Catalan and Dufourquet in the helicopter, this building isn't in Brazilia (as set); it's the Museum of Modern Art (MAM), in Rio.
- Quotes

Featured review
Hergé style
In the early sixties,De Broca was to film "Tintin" .It's really too bad he could not get his wish ,cause the two Tintin which were filmed after he quit were disappointing .
But when he began "L'Homme De Rio" ,De Broca had not forgotten Tintin : the beginning of his screenplay and Hergé's "L'Oreille Cassée" (the broken ear) are stupendously similar : an Amazionan statuette is stolen from a museum .And in the two stories,there are TWO statuettes.The reporter has become a private on furlough (Belmondo) and Milou his gorgeous fiancée (the late Françoise Dorléac).The movie is some kind of comic strip and is enjoyable from start to finish .After "Cartouche" and this movie ,Philippe De Broca would be a name to reckon with.
