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.
