Tintin and Struppi and the Blue Oranges is a real- life French film in color made in 1964 under the direction of Jean-Jacques Vierne and the script by André Barret and Rémo Forlani , with the characters from the Tintin comics by Hergé .
action
Professor Bienlein makes an appeal to the world's scientists on television. Research should be done to find ways to grow plants that grow in the arctic and desert. Back to Schlossmühlenhof , the residence whom he with the castle owners Captain Haddock and Tim and Struppi shares, it reached a package of Professor Zalamea with a glow-in-dark blue Orange . But soon afterwards the orange is stolen.
The friends travel to Spain to visit Professor Zalamea. When they arrive at his residence, they learn that the professor has disappeared. When Professor Bienlein also disappears and Struppi lies dazed in the house, it becomes clear that both professors were kidnapped. Professor Bienlein is brought to Professor Zalamea by the kidnappers. Together with him, he should continue researching the oranges. The oranges were grown using radioactivity . They ripen within five days. However, their taste is too salty and therefore inedible.
Tintin, Captain Haddock and Struppi now learn more about the kidnappers from some children in the area. One of the children had brought the package with the blue orange to Professor Bienlein at the post office and was attacked by a man with a conspicuous tattoo on his wrist. Tim sends the children out to look for the man. Schulze and Schultze arrive in the meantime to also look for the professor. Step by step, Tim and Captain Haddock follow the trail of the criminals until they finally overpower them with the help of the children. The two professors have been saved and can continue researching to fight hunger in the world.
background
Even before that, in 1961, the first real film Tintin and the secret of the golden fleece had been made. With a partly changed cast - for example, the role of Captain Haddock was cast with Jean Bouise and the role of Professor Bienlein with Félix Fernández - the film in question was soon made, for which it was shot in Gandia and Xàtiva .
The film premiered in France on December 18, 1964. Publications in Portugal, Denmark and Spain soon followed. The film was released much later in some countries, such as Sweden (1971) and the Netherlands (1976). In Germany, the feature film was first released on DVD in 2009 by Sunfilm Entertainment at the same time as the previous real-life version.
Others
The blue oranges became a household name in Belgian politics. This name is given to the governments, which are made up of Flemish or Francophone liberals (blue party color ) and Christian Democrats or center humanists (orange party color).
