"...a handsome production in Technicolor with lovely shots of England... "
The Grass is Greener - Review is taken from 'The Films of Cary Grant' by Donald Deschner (1973):
"The best thing about The Grass is Greener is its title, which fits so well an inexplicable set of circumstances. The worst thing about the picture is that producer-director Stanley Donen forgot he was making a movie, and in spite of all its glitter and glamorous cast, this film is awfully static and talky - and no fresher and greener than those comedies that used to turn up on our stages regularly in the thirties.
The script that Hugh and Margaret Williams wrote from their popular London stage comedy is only so-so funny, but Donen has given his picture a handsome production in Technicolor with lovely shots of England and the interior and exterior of Grant's elegant mansion. Brighter than the dialogue is the musical score stemming from Noel Coward's songs. It's too bad Coward couldn't have written the wisecracks too."
