	Movies - Tintin and the Golden Fleece

Tintin and the Golden Fleece (originally known as Tintin et Le Mystère de la Toison D'or) is a film first released in France on December 6, 1961. It is a live-action adaptation of the Tintin comic book series written and drawn by the Belgian writer-artist Hergé. It was about Tintin, Haddock and Snowy going to Istanbul to collect an old ship left to Haddock by his old friend. However, some crooks know the secret of the ship as it contains treasure and they will do anything to get their hands on it. Tintin was played in this film (and its sequel) by Jean-Pierre Talbot. It was then made into a book form, the english version of which is very rare. Dario Moreno makes a guest appearance in the movie.

Comic Strip Version

There was a version made unofficially in comic book form (possibly by Pascal Somon?). The drawings have been produced with either a brush and ink or a flexible nib. They're imported from existing albums, but not in a 'copy and paste' way. The artist reframed them, reworked backgrounds, and used secondary characters to take the place of the extras in the film. The book was originally produced as three volumes (32 pages each), but reprinted versions have been compiled into one.
