Tintin And The Blue Oranges
''Tintin and the Blue Oranges'' (french: Tintin et les Oranges bleues) is a 1964 Franco-Spanish film directed by Philippe Condroyer and starring Jean-Pierre Talbot as Tintin. It was the second live-action film, with an original story based on characters from the comic book series ''The Adventures of Tintin'', written and drawn by the Belgian artist Hergé. The accompanying book version is in photos and text rather than the usual comic-book style. The term "blue orange" is a moderately popular image among the French, and was originally inspired by Paul Éluard's strange quote ''"Earth is blue like an orange"'' as a reference to the colour of the fruit when it rots. Plot Professor Calculus on (black-and-white) TV broadcasts an appeal to help end world hunger. He receives many letters and parcels, and among them is 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 Marlin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Thomson And Thompson
Thomson and Thompson (french: Dupont et Dupond ) are fictional characters in ''The Adventures of Tintin'', the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé. They are two incompetent detectives who provide much of the comic relief throughout the series. Although they look like identical twins whose only discernible difference is the shape of their moustaches, they are in fact just doubles not brothers, just as the different spellings of their surnames suggests. They are afflicted with chronic spoonerisms, are extremely clumsy, thoroughly clueless, frequently arresting the wrong person (usually someone important). In spite of this, they somehow are entrusted with delicate missions. The detective with the flat, drooping walrus moustache is Thompson and introduces himself as "Thompson, with a 'P', as in psychology" (or "Philadelphia", or any such word in which the "P" is silent), while the detective with the flared, pointed moustache is Thomson, who often introduces himself as "Thoms ...
