He went to Italy and played Lot in Robert Aldrich's "Sodom and Gomorrah" (1962), filmed in Rome. When "Sodom" started filming, Granger announced he had signed a three-picture deal with MGM, which would include "I Thank a Fool", "Swordsman of Siena" and a third movie for Jacques Bar. He also announced he had reactivated his production company, Tracy Productions, which was scheduled to make "Dark Memory" by Jonathan Latimer. Granger did not appear in "I Thank a Fool", and "Dark Memory" was not made. Instead Granger stayed in Italy to make "Commando" (1962), an action movie and "Swordsman of Siena" (1963), a swashbuckler. Granger was in the war movie "The Secret Invasion" (1964) for Roger Corman shot in Yugoslavia.
