Grass Is Greener (Widescreen)
Amazon.com
Cary Grant is the befuddled English earl casually puttering around his tourist attraction of a grand old estate in casual dress while a bull of an American millionaire (Robert Mitchum) crashes into his life and seduces Grant's sophisticated lady (Deborah Kerr). It's pure fantasy, of course, with its cool, cultured lovers swapping witty banter with the same calm they swap gunshots in an old-fashioned duel. Have adultery and jealousy ever been so civilized? Stanley Donen never shakes this very British drawing-room comedy of manners free of its talky, stagebound source or its deliberate snail's pace, but he does manages to bring a lightness that softens the wit with an American lilt. Ultimately, though, it's all about a crack cast in fine form: Mitchum's sleepy-eyed insolence, Kerr's easy elegance, Jean Simmons's flighty outrageousness, and especially the charm and measured grace that is Cary Grant. --Sean Axmaker

- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2025Good Movie
- Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2019Critics really disliked this film. I disagree. Some people say it's immoral. I say that the percentage of films made these days and through the last couple of decades have been highly immoral too. This is a cleverly written 60's comedy with an amazing cast that brings Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr, Robert Mitchum and Jean Simmons together in a love quadrangle that keeps the audience guessing.
Cary and Deborah play Lord & Lady Rhyall, happily married living on a lovely estate. This estate, however doesn't run itself and is very expensive. Lady Rhyall grows mushrooms and they open their home to tourists to help fund the upkeep. One afternoon while the children are away on holiday a handsome American millionaire (Robert Mitchum) stumbles upon Hilary (Deborah Kerr) during a tour. They begin talking and eventually Cary Grant finds himself alone in the manor while his wife goes off to London to get her hair done during which time she's seeing the handsome stranger. He isn't alone for long however, when Hilary's best friend Hattie (Jean Simmons) comes calling on a visit. A game of cat and mouse ensues with a climactic act in which the four find themselves all back at the manor. Clever dialogue, and the message that true love conquers all with the great cast ensemble makes this film an underrated winner.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2013It all depends on what you are looking for in a movie and your susceptibility level. I'm an old movie fan and abhor the blatant fare provided today. Some may call this hypocritical, and this film no doubt skims lightly over a very important moral issue. However, in this case, I could just enjoy some of what I particularly enjoy from older movies -- beautiful houses, furniture, some of the English based to-do, clothes and all of that. Old movies are particularly illusionary in providing this without the nasty realism of modern days that has a way of getting into your gut. And please keep in mind that modern movies generally have the illicit lovers triumph, not what happens here. The light touch is part of the appeal of the older ones. It's entertainment, always a bit of a fantasy. I do know the difference between that and reality. Beautiful people in a beautiful setting involved in an absurd farce. If you really can't help being drawn off the straight and narrow by such a thing now and again, then by all means, be responsible to yourself and avoid.
On another note, I remember hearing this was panned by critics at the time of release, so have kind of remembered it that way, though did enjoy the overall spectacle on a rerun a while back. True, it was not the high water mark in acting for any of the performers. But, going back to it now, it is still very entertaining and I am glad I have it to enjoy the strong production values and some of yesterday's stars in a glamor bit together. Jolly good fun actually. Best not taken too seriously.
As far as the product goes, this was a used copy I took a risk on and it proved worth it. Very crisp, clear, vivid resolution with smooth playing.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2016Cary Grant as an English earl is perfect in his coolness, worldly-wise, almost majestic, propertied lord of the castle mannerism. Cary Grant as Victor has a detailed strategy how to win back his wife and bring her safely from her wonder-lust adventure. He discusses it with Jean Simmons character. I find myself wondering about a message coded in here, as it has a world of wisdom in it and it has me glued to the screen His lordship's butler is also so superbly portrayed in this movie, by always prim and proper, like his character here requires, young Moray Watson. Jean Simmons in her designer clothes throughout is a special treat for me. She is funny, she is outrageous, she is daring and she is a truly lovely soul. We can not forget Robert Michum with his dreamy eyes and sexiness.The fishing escapade of both Cary Grant and Robert Michum characters is a prize winner here, as is a real, old fashioned duel between two men. It is a must to see. Stanley Donen was such a fine movie maker. He pays attention to a minute details and in "the Grass is Greener" there are no exceptions to his rules.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2011This movie is an absolute gem. Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr shine as a (somewhat) happily married Earl and his lady. The twist comes when she allows herself to be seduced by Robert Mitchum, playing a wealthy oil man from America. Rounding out the cast is Jean Simmons, whose performance alternately shines and falls flat. Everyone knows about the affair, but the hilarity ensues from how Cary Grant chooses to confront the situation. Ultimately a feel-good movie which may challenge your view of the traditional marriage and rules that society accepts as given.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2004This has always been a favorite film of mine. The story is old-fashioned yet fun and the cast is divine. Despite having the VHS, I wanted more and ordered the DVD.
Beware! This DVD claims on its packaging to have Closed Captioning, but it does NOT!! No subtitles in any language, no line 21 captioning.
Nor does it have anything else. "Interactive Menus" means scene selections. This plain vanilla release doesn't even have a trailer. This film and cast deserves better and I see no reason Lion's Gate reissued this DVD with nothing added.
Since I bought it online, I can't return it and neither Lion's Gate nor Artisan will take it back despite the error in labeling and false advertising which is not the fault of the people I bought it from.

Claudius HerbstReviewed in Germany on December 28, 2017
5.0 out of 5 stars Sah nie besser aus! Dank an das Label FILMJUWELEN
Ähnlich wie bei EIN HAUCH VON NERZ eine grandiose Abtastung. Die Erstveröffentlichung von Kinowelt mit ihren müden Farben, dem Bild, das zwischen und Blau- und Gelbstich changierte, kann man getrost der Mülltonne überantworten.
Der elegante Stanley-Donen-Film ist eine leichtfüßig-philosophische Komödie, die das standhalten wahrer Liebe im Falle der Versuchung eines Seitensprungs untersucht. Pointierte Dialoge und das emotional unterkühlte Reagieren auf Beziehungssituationen, die in Frankreich zum Gattenmord führen würden, sind einerseits eine Parodie britischer Kühle, andererseits aber auch Hohe Schule der Liebes-Diplomatie.
Ein unterschätztes Meisterwerk, ein unglaublich witziger, sanft-zynischer Film, der überdies noch die Stil-Diefferenzen und kulturellen Klischees britischen und amerikanischen Verhaltens kontrastiert.
Bonus: Original-Trailer und die kompakte, sehr gelungene 1988er Doku THE LEADING MAN über Cary Grant.
Wenn man jetzt noch irgendwo den deutschen Trailer aufgetrieben hätte... aber: wollen wir nicht gierig sein.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mitchum steals the show
At a first glance one might think that Robert Mitchum was miscast in this comedy of manners, too much the tough guy. But IMHO he steals the show.
