Green Fire is a 1954 American CinemaScope and Eastmancolor adventure drama film released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

When a tragic accident at the mine site kills Donald, even Vic abandons his old friend Rian and sets out to help Catherine with her harvest, all the while harboring his own passion for the beautiful young woman.

At great risk to himself, he sets in place an explosion of dynamite that not only diverts the water away from Catherine's plantation, but also buries the mine under tons of rubble, from where it can no longer be reached.

In January 1953 MGM reported that producer Armand Deutsch and writer Everett Freeman were travelling to Colombia to research Green Fire.

The film was going to be made as a vehicle for Clark Gable, in the vein of Mogambo which had been a big success for the actor.

[9] By October however the female lead was Eleanor Parker, with Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts having replaced Freeman was writer.

[13] Later that month Andrew Marton, who had worked with Granger on King Solomon's Mines and The Wild North, was announced as director.

Eventually MGM agreed to push back production and let her make The Country Girl (Kelly's performance in that film earned her a Best Actress Oscar).

"[17] In April 1954, a crew of 28, including Granger, Kelly and Paul Douglas, traveled to Colombia for three weeks of location filming.

The shoot was a difficult one, plagued by weather, lack of facilities and complications from the fact that there had recently been a military coup in the country and new permissions needed to be obtained.
