Tintin and the Golden Fleece (in French:Tintin et le mystère de la Toison d'Or), is a Live-Action Adaptation of the famous Tintin comics. Released in December of 1961, it stars Jean-Pierre Talbot as Tintin, and Georges Wilson as Captain Haddock. It isn't based on any of Hergé's stories, instead having a completely original story. However, it does retain the feel of said stories, and many of the tropes found in the comics are also present here. The movie was adapted for print in the style of one of the comic strip albums, using live-action shots with speech bubbles.One morning, Captain Haddock's nap is interrupted by the announcement that his friend, Themistocle Paparanic, has passed away, and as part of his will, Haddock has inherited his ship, the Golden Fleece. Tintin and Haddock travel to Istanbul, Turkey, to retrieve the ship, but find that it's a rusty, dilapidated shell of its former glory. More surprisingly, a businessman named Anton Karabine offers to buy the rusty old ship for a very large sum of money, and soon turns to violence when his offers are refused. Tintin must search for Paparanic's old crew, and along the way learns of a hidden fortune in gold which he has hidden.The movie got a sequel in 1964, Tintin and the Blue Oranges.

No Macguffin No Winner: After being subdued by Tintin, Karabine decides that if he can't have the gold, neither will anyone else, and drops the chest into the sea, where it falls into a deep trench, making it irretrievable. Subverted when it turns out the chest only contained copper, and the gold was hidden in the Golden Fleece's railings all along.

Chekhov's Gun: At the start of the movie, Professor Calculus invents a new, super-powerful fuel. This doesn't get brought up again until much later, when the Golden Fleece's fuel has had its fuel tanks maliciously emptied: Calculus uses this fuel to help the ship reach its destination.

Adaptational Curves: The actor who played Tintin (Jean-Pierre Talbot) was ripped as his Shirtless Scene shows. His clothes are still loose enough to hide it.

Better Manhandle the Murder Weapon

comment
Better Manhandle the Murder Weapon: Midas Papos is shot while talking with Tintin and Haddock, and the gun used to do the deed is then tossed through the window, into the room. Haddock doesn't hesitate to pick up the weapon, getting his fingerprints all over it, right as people come in to check out what happened. Unsurprisingly, this leads to Tintin and Haddock's arrest, though thankfully the Thom(p)sons are able to get them out of jail.

Big Bad: The main villain is Anton Karabine, whose obsession with Paparanic's lost gold drives the film's conflict as he attempts to take out Tintin and Haddock, among other crimes.

Red Herring: The treasure map hidden in the label of Alexander's bottle. Turns out it leads to a chest full of copper, while the gold is in the Golden Fleece's railings.
