Summary: Great movie, so-so DVD
Review: The digital transfer is good, but I was dissapointed how few "extras" were on the disk. The movie itself speaks for itself. One of my favorite comedies with Cary Grant in it. I love this movie.

Summary: Excellent movie, Good DVD copy, but NOT Closed-Captioned
Review: The movie is delightful, the DVD copy is very satisfactory. Its letterbox format is perfect for this movie, much better than an ananorphic format would have been. My only complaint is that although the DVD is advertised as "Closed-Captioned" - it has the "CC" logo on the case - the DVD has NO captioning. This is quite disappointing for those who need captions. Still, this DVD is the best way to see "The Grass Is Greener" outside of a movie theater.

Summary: Great Fun
Review: The perfect marriage of Kerr and Grant hits a snag when dapper, and loaded, American tourist Mitchum shows up at their grand English country home. While these three hold their own in their respective roles, it is Jean Simmons as the not to subtle and nosy best friend of the couple who steals the show. Her complete enjoyment of everyone else's discomfort is a delight and the writing is witty yet dead on caustic too. Just the scene where she shows up at the house to "comfort" Grant is enough to make any viewer love this film. Definitely a must-see.

Summary: Nothing wrong with movie, but DVD fails.
Review: This 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.

Summary: Light Movie Made Captivating by Actors
Review: This is a light implausible movie, not chock-full of deep laughter. However, the actors are very well chosen and convey an infectious sense that they are thoroughly enjoying themselves (particularly the delightful Jean Simmons). If you like drawing-room comedies (e.g., Noel Coward's lighter plays like "Hay Fever"), you'll enjoy this. It's a fun American/British clash of cultures (and who were more different than Robert Mitchum and Cary Grant?) with slight romance and hokum and humor. If you like this one, you'll like the British/American variety in "The Reluctant Debutante" (but without the annoying and dated Sandra Dee/John Saxon angle) and the British/American comedy/romance among the upper class of much of "The Last of Mrs. Cheney".

Summary: Grant and Kerr are Wonderful
Review: This movie is wonderful! It has the funny Grant, the beautiful and talented Kerr, and the supporting cast of Robert Mitchum and Jean Simmons. It is about an earl who turns his mansion into a tourist attraction. Then, his wife (Kerr) meets an American (Mitchum) and they fall in love. But Grant isn't going to accept it, and he has Jean Simmons to help him get his wife back. Made in 1960, this film is a true classic that will keep you entertained from the beginning to the end!

Summary: Unforgettable (Unfortunately)
Review: This movie survives in my memory for over 40 years as one of the most boring stupid excuses for a comedy ever made. I use it as a benchmark to compare all other really bad comedies. They are either worse than this one (rare) or better than this one. As an example: Buffalo '66 is worse. If you watch both in the same day, you will surely die.

Summary: Sticky Bits of Paper
Review: What a wonderful movie. Who could ask for more, with a cast including Cary Grant and Robert Mitchum? Not to mention a duel, a missing mink coat, mushrooms, British manors and fishing? A wonderful romance, that shows how fate and middle age can come together and create havoc on the seemingly happy, if not a bit dull, life of a settled English couple, whose large country estate doubles as a tourist atrraction to support itself. (with lots of American tourists who leave apple cores and sticky bits of paper all over the grounds!)
To make ends meet, the wife also happens to run a thriving mushroom growing business in the cellar! (phew that was a long sentence!)
Robert Mitchum is one of these camera toting tourist who "mistakenly" wanders into the private portion of the house, finding Lady Rile and the sparks fly!
It's a charming old-fashioned adult romantic farce, that's not too far fetched.

Summary: Great Cast, Lame Story!
Review: When I first rented this movie, I did so because I thought it was a musical, please try to hold your laughter. It had a score by Noel Coward, so what was I suppose to think? Granted this cast is not a musical bunch lol, but, you never know! lol. Directed by Stanley Donnen, no doubt best known for directing "Singin' in the Rain", "Grass Is Greener" has a "staged" feel to it. The acting is good, after all, look at this cast. How could it not be great! But, the story leaves something to be desired, mainly just a hint of realism. I understand this is suppose to be a sweet romantic story, that is probably suppose to be anything but real, but just a hint of realism could of make this work. C'mon lets be honest. What man would react to the same situation Grant finds himself in? You see his wife Deborah Kerr runs off with Robert Mitchum. And Grant is perfectly understanding. He never makes an attempt to go after her. She lies to Grant and just goes with Mitchum. The one thing I hate most about movies like this is. If it was a man that ran off with another women, no one would find it romantic. Women would bash him for what he did. But, when a women runs away with another man, all of a sudden it's romantic. Is something wrong with this picture? You bet! This has a sloppy script, and unbelievanle characters. Redeeming moments are the use of Noel Coward's music, the acting, and Donnen's directing. If you want to see a better movie with Kerr and Grant, get "An Affair to Remember". Much, much better then this! ** 1\2 out of *****
