Synopsis
Go into a mountain poor, come out rich. Rian Mitchell has spent years chasing a fortune and now in the Andes, he may have found a fabled emerald mine of the Conquistadors. He may also have found something more precious: the love of coffee plantation owner Catherine Knowland -- if his greed doesn't drive her from him. Stewart Granger and Grace Kelly headline a tale of heroics and romance filmed in awesome widescreen CinemaScope in scenic locales of Colombia. Andrew Marton, who co-directed Granger's King Solomon's Mines and most famously helmed (along with Yakima Canutt) the chariot race in Ben-Hur, brings his knowing hand to the film's action. Floods, gunfights, a cave-in, a mountain avalanche -- adventure burns with a Green Fire.
