Wild Orchid

A woman lawyer drifts into Rio and bumps into a self-made millionaire whose charm performs the same trick on her as a carnival illusion. A string of sun-drenched liaisons follows, though her case files get dustier than his offshore portfolio. The film settles for soapy thrills it never earns.
