More "mondo" than travelog, the 1969 Rio Nudo purports to reveal Rio de Janeiro as the "sin capital of South America," though much of the sinning is obviously staged for the camera. The fraudulent fakeouts are edited into stock footage of Rio's beach scene, its infamous red light districts, and rowdy revelers attending the three-day Carnival. Though credited to the otherwise unknown "Sinte S. Albert" (a reference to 1930's Belgian bantam-weight boxer Albert Sinte?), the responsible party is likely New York sexploitation specialist Sam Catah (I Want You!, also from 1969).
