Rio is a 1939 American crime film directed by John Brahm and starring Basil Rathbone, Victor McLaglen, Sigrid Gurie, and Robert Cummings.

Production

In July 1938 Universal announced the film would star Danielle Darrieux who they had under contract and who had made The Rage of Paris for the studio. In October Universal said James Stewart would appear opposite Darrieux in the movie and Joel McCrea would play a role intended for Stewart, Destry Rides Again. In January Hedda Hopper reported that Darrieux did not want to return because she did not like the script for Rio.

Darrieux's return from France kept being delayed so in June 1939 Sigrid Gurie was cast. Filming started 21 July 1939. It wound up in September.

Filmink said Cummings played "a less typical role, as a seedy drunk who finds redemption."
