Description of this Tintin and the Blue Oranges Poster
Tintin and the Blue Oranges is a Franco-Spanish film directed in 1964 by Philippe Condroyer with Jean-Pierre Talbot in the role of Tintin[1]. This is the second live-action film, with an original story based on the characters from the comic book series The Adventures of Tintin, written and drawn by Belgian artist Hergé. The accompanying book version is composed of photos and text rather than the usual comic book style.
The phrase "blue orange" is a moderately popular image among the French, originally inspired by Paul Éluard's strange quote "The earth is blue like an orange", in reference to the color of the fruit when it rots .
Professor Tournesol broadcasts on television (in black and white) an appeal to help end world hunger. He receives many letters and packages, including a blue orange, which can grow in desert conditions (and glows in the dark), from Professor Zalamea, but no letters of explanation. That night, two thieves break into Marlinspike Hall and steal the blue orange. Having no other choice, Tournesol, with Tintin, the captain and Snowy, goes to Valencia (filmed in Burjassot, in Simat de la Valldigna at the monastery of Santa María de la Valldigna, in Gandia and in Xàtiva).
When they arrive, they find that he is not present at his hacienda and are greeted by his cousin. Professor Calculus is kidnapped to help Zalamea perfect blue oranges, which, thanks to a bombardment of neutrons, can ripen in just five days, but they have a bitter, salty taste that makes them inedible.
Tintin befriends a local boy, who takes him to his gang's hideout. He discovers that a boy who was supposed to take the package to the post office for Zalamea was attacked by a man whose hand is tattooed with a blue dragon. Dupont and Dupond arrive from Interpol to investigate Zalamea's disappearance and have an unfortunate incident with a bull.
The neighborhood boys find Fernando, the man with the tattoo, and Tintin and the captain go to his hotel. Tintin picks the lock and enters his room, and when Fernando returns, he hears him talking to his boss on a radio, about a meeting. Tintin and the captain follow Fernando, but are knocked out and taken away.
Dupont and Dupond check into the hotel, but are trapped by the criminals, who use doubles to get them out of their room. Tintin and the captain come back to life and find themselves in a grain silo, but are saved by Snowy who drops a rope there. Back in town, they are chased by the police, who take them around a market. Tintin and Haddock escape thanks to Bianca Castafiore. After the unexpected visit of a delegation from the Emir of Sakali, Tintin and Haddock reunite with their young friends. They decide to sneak into Professor Zalamea's hacienda to test new information, namely the role of Estensoro (Zalamea's valet) in the kidnapping. After successfully creating a diversion using animals with saucepans attached to their tails, Tintin and Haddock find a radio identical to Fernando's in Estensoro's room, which proves his involvement. Haddock's decision to drink Estensoro's whiskey accidentally leads them to discover Zalamea's secret documents and his own suspicions about the identity of his enemies.
