The French-Belgian film "Tintin et le
mystère de la Toison d'or" (English title: "Tintin and the
Golden Fleece") was released on 6 December 1961 in France. Directed
by Jean-Jacques Vierne, it is the first live-action film featuring
characters from "The Adventures of Tintin" comic book series
written and drawn by the Belgian writer-artist Hergé. The main
actors, Jean-Pierre Talbot as Tintin and Georges Wilson as Captain
Haddock, were made-up to look like the characters. The film is not
based on any of the books, it features an original storyline.
The film is set in Turkey and Greece with the main characters of Tintin and Captain Haddock searching for treasure after inheriting a ship called the Golden Fleece. The film was followed by a sequel in 1964, "Tintin et les oranges bleues" (English title: "Tintin and the Blue Oranges").
