The Grass Is Greener

The Grass Is Greener (1960) is a classic romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Hard up for cash, English aristocrats Victor and Hillary open their ancestral estate to paying tourists — until one visitor, a smooth American oil millionaire, wanders into the private wing and falls hard for the lady of the house.

Stanley Donen directs four stars at once: Cary Grant as the unruffled earl, Deborah Kerr as his wife, Robert Mitchum as the rich interloper, and Jean Simmons as the old flame who stirs the pot. What follows is drawing-room sparring, very British jealousy, and a duel staged like a polite social engagement.

It's a talky, featherweight farce from an era that prized a sharp line over a car chase — easy charm for anyone who loves old Hollywood and Grant at his driest. Stream The Grass Is Greener (1960) online on iFILM.
