Scudder International Fund, Inc. on behalf of
Scudder International Fund
345 Park Avenue
New York, NY 10154

Dear Sirs:

      We have acted as counsel to Scudder International Fund, Inc., a
Maryland corporation (the "Corporation"), and we have a general familiarity
with the Corporation's business operations, practices and procedures. You
have asked for our opinion regarding the reclassification of shares of
capital stock of the Corporation into shares of the International Shares
class of Scudder International Fund, a series of the Corporation, in
connection with the acquisition by Scudder International Fund of the assets
of Scudder International Growth and Income Fund, a series of Corporation,
which shares are registered on a Form N-14 Registration Statement (the
"Registration Statement") filed by the Corporation with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

      We have examined originals or certified copies, or copies otherwise
identified to our satisfaction as being true copies, of various corporate
records of the Corporation and such other instruments, documents and records as
we have deemed necessary in order to render this opinion. We have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents examined by us
and the correctness of all statements of fact contained in those documents.

      On the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares of
the International Shares class of common stock of the Corporation being
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in the Registration Statement will
be legally and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, upon transfer of
the assets of Scudder International Growth and Income Fund pursuant to the
terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization included in the Registration
Statement.

      We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with and as part of the
Registration Statement.

                                       Very truly yours,

                                       /s/ DECHERT PRICE & RHOADS
