Moray Watson is good value as the butler (yes he was the Brigadier from Darling Buds - his voice was the give-away). Overall, quite fun.
Shot by Christoper Challis in Technirama (only the US DVD will do, and even that's a bit fuzzy).

The Grass Is Greener (1960 Stanley Donen)
Starts with a great credits scene by Maurice Binder in which various babies enact the titles credited (cameraman etc.) Then goes fairly static for filming of Noel Cowardish play by (and adapted by) Hugh Williams and Margaret Vyner in which Lady of the Manor Deborah Kerr (good) falls for tourist Robert Mitchum (possibly miscast), to the quiet umbrage of Cary Grant; Jean Simmons is an annoying friend. Good montage though in which we see Kerr & Mitchum's deepening relationship through their absences from various venues.
