    Editorial Reviews

    A rousing chorus of Noël Coward's "Stately Homes of England" is heard as the opening titles of The Grass Is Greener fade into several stock shots of those stately homes. One of these mansions is owned by British earl Victor Rhyall (Cary Grant), who opens his home to American tourists in order to make ends meet. One such tourist is wealthy Texan Charles Delacro (Robert Mitchum), who sets his sights upon Victor's lovely wife, Hilary (Deborah Kerr). In his efforts to win back his wife, Victor presses his former girlfriend Hattie Durant (Jean Simmons) into service. The Grass Is Greener was adapted by Hugh and Margaret Williams from their own stage play. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    February 18, 2009: A feel good movie with witty comedy and great performances. It showcases Cary Grants gift of comedy and timing with several memorable lines. The plot is light and has some interesting twists.

    July 15, 2008: With Noel Coward's lilting music, the film gets off to a good start with a delightfully unusual credits sequence. Though Coward only wrote the background score, the script itself is also the traditional Coward drawing-room comedy style. Grant is his usual suave self, but the movie belongs to the women...both Deborah Kerr and Jean Simmons step away from types they usually play, and they are charming. Only Robert Mitchum seems out of his element standing about in a tuxedo, trading barbs with the Brits.
