	Movies - Tintin and the Blue Oranges

Tintin and the Blue Oranges (originally Tintin et les Oranges Bleues) is a 1964 French film. It was the second live-action movie based on the Tintin comic book series written and drawn by the Belgian writer-artist Hergé.

In the film, Professor Calculus (Feliz Fernandez) develops a blue-skinned orange that can grow on any kind of land and survive harsh weather (in the manner of Lue Gim Gong). The Professor and his friends, however, run afoul of gangsers who also covet the fruit.

Tintin was played by Jean-Pierre Talbot, who also starred as Tintin in the prequel, Tintin and the Golden Fleece.

The term of the "blue orange" is a moderately popular image among the French, which was originally inspired by Paul Eluard's strange quote "Earth is blue like an orange". The book form is rarer than it's predecessor, the english version particularly so.
