A French film actress, Colette Marly (Edwige Feuillere), tells the press she is bored with men. Lord Datchett (Stewart Granger) hears this statement as a challenge and sets out to prove her a liar. He sends her a letter inviting her to stay at his country estate to rest "while he is away."
Stewart Granger is devilishly charming as the woman hater, and the supporting cast is magnificent. Jameson (Ronald Squire), Lord Datchett's butler, drips with dry humor. Clair (Jeanne De Casalis), the French maid, is hilariously witty!
I am lucky enough to have this movie on video, but I believe it is now out of print. Hopefully it will be released on DVD.

Just because actors have looks, charm and charisma it doesn't mean they have a flair for comic timing. The writing is adequate but the direction and lack of comedic skills of the leads make watching downright painful.
Don't know why Stewart granger gets so much negativity. I thought he played the comedy well indeed he always seemed to play every part with a twinkle in his eye the only fault with the film is the bloated script.
Whilst appearing on stage in London in Jean-Louis Barrault's production of 'Partage de Midi', the magnificent Edwige Feuiliere found time to make 'Woman Hater'. Upon seeing the finished product she no doubt wondered why she bothered. Even she cannot keep this afloat as it sinks under the weight of heavy-handed direction by Terence Young and the performance of leading man Stewart Granger whose undeniable screen presence cannot compensate for his lack of the 'lighter touch' required for this sort of material. Even the excellent Ronald Squire fails to sparkle whilst Michael Medwin injects some energy into a small role as a spivvy PR man. The most interesting character by far is that of Jean de Casalis. If you can ignore everything else Mlle Feuiliere is mesmerising.
In her memoirs she alludes to this film but omits to mention the title.
I wonder why?!
It's a pleasant and pure romantic comedy. The script is stylishly witty. There are many funny scenes in this movie (I let you discover them). As I am French, I was really interested in discovering Edwige Feuillère in an international movie and speaking English!(one of the most famous and talented French actresses). What a good surprise as she speaks in English so well. I suppose this movie was unique in her career. She really looks like a Hollywood star, playing charmingly, elegantly, wearing superb dresses. She gives a fine performance. The director, Terence Young, wanted her in his movie after watching her in Jean Cocteau's film "The Eagle has two heads" (in which she played the Queen Natasha). So, she had to learn English very quickly. Steward Granger is irresistible, alluring, at ease in comedy. The leading support is very good too. Highly recommended for any fan of romantic comedy. I don't know whether this classic movie will be released on DVD one day. So, in the meantime, I keep it carefully on video. As to me, I once saw Madam Edwige Feuillère, on stage, in Paris. What a perfect voice!

- CuriosidadesStewart Granger very much wanted to make this film as it gave him the chance to appear in a comedy. However the critical response to his performance was unfavorable.
- Erros de gravaçãoWhen Colette Marly is pretending to be drowning in the lake she holds on to her rowing-boat, that has been deliberately capsized by her, keeps crying out for help so that Lord Terence Datchett jumps into the water and swims towards her wanting to rescue her, and at one moment she stretches her left foot out of the water revealing it to be naked. She removes her foot under water, the Lord reaches her, tries to save her, but she again deliberately behaves so clumsily that His Lordship bumps his skull against the boat's planks and loses consciousness so that Colette is now forced to save him on behalf of which she grabs his chin and throat with both hands,slips her body under his, uses only her legs and feet for swimming and both her hands for keeping his head above the water. When reaching the lake's shore, she grabs both his armpits,pulls him out of the water and lays him down on the ground seating herself next to him and revealing that both her feet are covered almost completely by shoes! As she did not have the slightest opportunity to put on her shoes she had been obviously not wearing in the water or to carry them with her when swimming through the lake this is a Continuity-Mistake.
