Tintin and his dog Milou must solve the mystery of the stolen blue orange. The strange new fruit could hold the key to the problem of world hunger. The blue orange is also connected to the kidnapping of Professor Tournesol. Despite the many obstacles during his adventures, Tintin's courage leaves him triomphant as usual.
Tintin and the Blue Oranges (French: Tintin et les Oranges bleues) is a 1964 French film set in France and Spain. It was the second live-action Tintin movie, with an original story based on characters created for the comic book series The Adventures of Tintin, written and drawn by the Belgian artist Herg. It was less successful than its predecessor, Tintin and the Golden Fleece. The movie itself is available on video cassette and DVDs, in 2018 the movie was released with restoration in 4K. The same DVD has Tintin and the Mystery of the Golden Fleece as well.
Professor Calculus on (B&W) TV broadcasts an appeal to help end world hunger. He receives many letters and parcels and among them a blue orange which can grow in desert conditions (and glows in the dark) from Professor Zalamea, but no letter of explanation. That night, two thieves break into Marlinspike Hall and steal the blue orange. With no other choice, Calculus with Tintin, the Captain and Snowy go to Valencia (filmed in Burjassot, in Simat de la Valldigna at the Monastery of Santa Mara de la Valldigna, Gandia and Xtiva).
Arriving, they find he is not present at his hacienda and are met by his cousin. Professor Calculus is kidnapped to help Zalamea perfect the blue oranges which with neutron bombardment can mature in just five days. Unfortunately they taste bitter and salty so are presently no good.
Tintin befriends a local boy who takes him to his gang hideout and he finds out that a boy who was to take the parcel to the Post Office for Zalamea was attacked by a man with a blue dragon tattoo on his hand. Thomson and Thompson turn up from Interpol, investigating Zalamea's disappearance and have an unfortunate incident with a bull.
The local boys find Fernando, the man with the tattoo and Tintin and the Captain go to his hotel. Tintin picks the lock and gets into his room, and when Fernando returns, overhears him talking on a radio set to his chief, about a rendzvous. Tintin and the Captain follow Fernando but are knocked unconscious and taken away.
Thomson and Thompson check into a hotel, but are tricked by the villains, who use doubles to coax them from their rooms. Tintin and the Captain revive and find themselves in a grain silo but are rescued by Snowy dropping a rope into it. Back in town, they find themselves pursued by the police, who chase them all around a market. Tintin and Haddock escape thanks to Bianca Castafiore. After an unexpected visit by a delegation from the visiting Emir of Sakali, Tintin and Haddock meet up again with their young friends. They decide to sneak back into Prof. Zalamea's hacienda to test some new information; that is, the collusion of Esposito (Zalamea's manservant) in the kidnapping. After successfully using animals with pans tied to their tails as a distraction, Tintin & Haddock find a radio identical to Fernando's in Esposito's room, proving his involvement. Haddock's decision to drink Esposito's whisky accidentally leads them to discover Zalamea's secret documents, and his own suspicions about the identity of his enemies.
The rich Emir of Sakali's yacht is moored up at the docks, so Tintin and the Captain try to rescue the Professors. Unfortunately, the Professors have been drugged, and their loud voices raise the alarm and Tintin & Haddock are caught by the Emir. They escape and a fight ensues as a horde of children turn up (warned by Snowy). The villains are thrown in the sea, the Emir is subdued and the police arrive to clean things up.
All turns out well and they are back at Marlinspike Hall for a celebration and photos. It is said that they hope to perfect the oranges within ten years and also to learn to grow wheat, potatoes, eggplants etc. in the desert. Just then, Thomson and Thompson turn up in their car, crash and end up in the fountain, to the amusement of all.
Tintin and the Blue Oranges (Tintin et les oranges bleues in French) is a 1964 Live-Action Adaptation film of the famous Tintin series of comics, and the sequel to 1961's Tintin and the Golden Fleece. Like the aforementioned film, it boasts an original story, rather than being based on any album. Jean-Pierre Talbot reprises his role as Tintin, though Captain Haddock is now played by Jean Bouise and Professor Calculus by Flix Fernandez.
Calculus receives a strange parcel in the mail from the famous Professor Zalamea, containing a blue orange that glows in the dark and which can be grown in the desert, making it a potential solution to world hunger. When the orange is stolen, Calculus, Tintin, and Haddock all travel to Valencia to meet Zalamea and explain the situation to him. However, Zalamea has been kidnapped, and so is Calculus, with their abductors seeking to use the blue oranges for their own benefits. Tintin is helped by a gang of local children in his search for the missing professors.This film provides examples of the following tropes:
A guaranteed original French 'Petite' movie poster from the 2017 re-release of Phillippe Condroyer's 1964 adventure "Tintin et les Oranges bleus", translated in to English as "Tintin and the Blue Oranges".
A follow up to 1961's Tintin and Mystery of the Golden Fleece, this is the second film to be based on the Tintin stories. Jean-Pierre Talbot reprised the role of 'Tintin' with Jean Bouise taking over as Capitaine Haddock.
The movie centres on a mysterious 'blue orange' with the ability to grow in arid desert conditions and to glow in the dark. After it's theft, Tintin, Haddock and Snowy set off to Spain to solve the crime and world hunger.
This classic poster (with artwork by Herge) is for the 2017 re-release of the movie. Unlike most French posters, it has never been folded and is in superb condition. A fantastic poster for any Tintin fan.

Control of citrus blue mold, caused by Penicillium italicum, was evaluated on artificially inoculated oranges immersed in water at up to 75C for 150 s; in 2 to 4% sodium carbonate (wt/vol) at 20 or 45C for 60 or 150 s; or in 1 to 4% sodium bicarbonate at room temperature for 150 s, followed by storage at 20C for 7 days. Hot water controlled blue mold at 50 to 55C, temperatures near those that injured fruit, and its effectiveness declined after 14 days of storage. Sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate were superior to hot water. Temperature of sodium carbonate solutions influenced effectiveness more than concentration or immersion period. Sodium carbonate applied for 150 s at 45C at 3 or 4% reduced decay more than 90%. Sodium bicarbonate applied at room temperature at 2 to 4% reduced blue mold by more than 50%, while 1% was ineffective. In another set of experiments, treatments of sodium bicarbonate at room temperature, sodium carbonate at 45C, and hot water at 45C reduced blue mold incidence on artificially inoculated oranges to 6, 14, and 27%, respectively, after 3 weeks of storage at 3C. These treatments reduced green mold incidence to 6, 1, and 12%, respectively, while incidence among controls of both molds was about 100%. When reexamined 5 weeks later, the effectiveness of all, particularly hot water, declined. In conclusion, efficacy of hot water, sodium carbonate, and sodium bicarbonate treatments against blue mold compared to that against green mold was similar after storage at 20C but proved inferior during long-term cold storage.
