L'herbier's not really on fire.

Filmed in both French and Italian versions; the French director Marcel L'Herbier was specialized in melodramas and "terre de feu" is no exception .The Italian lead (Tito Schipa) was unknown to the French audience; the other way round for the rest of the cast , in their vast majority,from France :Mireille Balin got top bill ,but she has only two scenes in the movie and her role is insignificant.

After a promising part ,where real life extends the opera ,in the wings then the court , the rest is routine:the opera singer is sent to a penal colony , then tries to find his daughter -who may or may not be his- and to resume his career .

One scene recalls the great director L'herbier was able to be : one of the convicts dies of a bad fever and his funeral takes place in a gloomy church in a cave :faces are tired,marked, in this twilight :suddenly the former singer breaks into an "Ave Maria" and some sunshine breaks through.

The film was shot (in Cinecittà) with both French and Italian actors, all appearing in both versions. All French actors are dubbed in the Italian version and vice-versa. The Italian version of the film, known as "Terra di fuoco" was released in Italy in February 1939. French cinema-goers had to wait until October 1942 to see it.
