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 issuance of AARP Shares class of
shares of common stock by the Corporation in connection with the acquisition
by Scudder International Fund, a series of the Corporation, of the assets of
AARP International Stock Fund, a series of AARP Growth Trust, 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 AARP
Shares class of shares of common stock of the Corporation being registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 in the Registration Statement, subject to
the creation of the AARP Shares class of shares in accordance with the laws
of the state of Maryland, will be legally and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable, upon transfer of the assets of AARP International Stock 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
