Summary: An enchanting romantic comedy...
Review: This is really a magical and enchanting romantic comedy. Essentially, it is about a young girl named Sabrina (surprise, suprise) played by the ever wonderful Audrey Hepburn who is totally obsessed with the younger son of the family her father works for as a chauffeur. The younger son, named David Larabee and played by William Holden, is irresponsible and totally ignores Sabrina, which causes her to get very depressed. Then Sabrina is sent to Paris, where she is magically transformed into a sophisticated and charming woman. When she returns, the catepillar turned butterfly enchants both David and his older brother Linus, the dedicated businessman, played by Humphery Bogart. Hilarious complications ensue...anything else would be giving away the whole point of the movie!Anyhow, the acting is great...all in all the movie is really sweet and funny! It is one of those quintessential Audrey Hepburn movies - the innocent, sweet girl transformed into a princess - and like all her films it is great! I don't know how else to recommend this, it is a great film the whole family can watch and enjoy.

Summary: Sabrina- awesome movie no matter who you're with
Review: Sabrina is one of the best movies of all times (even better than Casablanca!). It's a movie that has somethinmg for you no matter who your chillin' with or where you are in life.
Single in Seattle? Sabrina is too, madly in love with her bossese youngest son, she even tries to commit suicide, but she lives and even better she ends up happy.
Dating in Denver? A romantic movie with one of ht esweetest endings I have EVER seen!
Friends in Frankfurt? A great movie for all genders to watch, as long as you have a touch of a romantic in you.
All in all my friends and I have all seen both versions of Sabrina multiple times and enjoy it no matter what.

Summary: magic
Review: the problem is... the first part of this movie (until the end of the party) is cinematographic magic - Wilder directs, the camera allows us to be there, and Hepburn is TDF. Watch this movie on dvd coupled to a good video projector and you'll see what I mean.
From there on in it becomes terribly theatrical.
But those first thirty minutes make this a five star film - thankyou Audrey Hepburn and Billy Wilder.

Summary: delightful fairy-tale.....set in Long Island
Review: Once upon a time... So begins the wonderful SABRINA, Billy Wilder's romantic comedy classic starring William Holden, Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn in her second major movie role. Sabrina Fairchild (Audrey Hepburn) is the daughter of the chauffer of the wealthy Larrabee family from Long Island. Sabrina, shy and reserved, spends her nights high atop a tree, admiring the famous Larrabee soirees from afar, wishing she was among them. After a sojourn at a Paris cookery school, Sabrina returns, chic and sophisticated, and very much grown up. Soon catching the eye of David (William Holden), whom she harboured a huge crush on before taking to Paris. But when older brother Linus (Humphrey Bogart) also takes more than a passing interest in Sabrina, the stage is set for some family fireworks! Also starring Walter Hampden, John Williams, Ellen Corby, Martha Hyer and Joan Vohs. Based on the Broadway play "Sabrina Fair" (which starred Margaret Sullavan) written by Samuel Taylor, the film was written jointly by Taylor as well as Billy Wilder and Ernest Lehman. The DVD includes a featurette and a photo gallery.

Summary: never rent the 1995 remake if you can rent this
Review: Sabrina with Audrey Hepburn is the most excellent film you will ever see of a woman reinventing herself so the man of her dreams finally notices, only to have his brother notice too. Sabrina is the daughter of the chauffeur to millionaires Linus and David -- older brother Linus works hard and never takes a day off, while David is a playboy who can't remember where the office building is --- even though he is vice-president. Sabrina is so hung up over David that, when she sees him flirting with another woman at a party, she tries to commit suicide by turning on all their Cadillacs in the shut garage (something omitted from the sanitized 1995 version.) Her father sends her to cooking school in Paris so she can get over David --- she returns as a sophisticated woman a year later. Meanwhile, Linus has arranged for David to marry a society girl to seal hs own business deal -- but now David likes Sabrina... A romantic comedy rife with witty dialogie and heartrending moments, Sabrina is a classic that needs no remake. Hepburn is irreplacable, as are Humphrey Bogart and Bill Holden in their roles as the two brothers.

Summary: Bing it
Review: Audrey hepburn is great in her 2nd major film. It's not quite as good as Roman Holiday but I can still watch it again and again. Kinda a strang movie, falling in love with someone twice your age but it seems like she does it in every movie she is in. oh well. It was cool, Big Truck

Summary: Yes we have no bananas. But we have Sabrina.
Review: There is the indoor tennis court and the outdoor tennis court. There is the indoor swimming pool and the outdoor swimming pool. There is an environment that has already captured your imagination be for the story starts. Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn) is the chauffeur's daughter and must remember that there is a front seat and a back seat and a window in-between. However Sabrina has always had a crush on David Larrabee (William Holden) one of the owner's sons. After returning from Paris she has changed enough to play "What's my Line" with David Larrabee. David falls victim to the family will and is temporarily disabled. Linus Larrabee (Bogart), his brother, takes over as second string and must learn how to handle the young girl infatuated with David. There are a lot of tender and comic scenes as She changes her target and he softens up. At first Bogart seems a little old for the part but he is such a good actor that it works.

Summary: Admirable Near-Miss
Review: Long admired as one of the film business' most mordant wits, Billy Wilder has only recently been given his full honors as one of the great directors, fully on par with Ford, Hitchcock, De Sica, etc - even noted dissenter Andrew Sarris has finally come around. It's as if his track record was working against him all these years: anyone who could make as many smart, sarcastic, deeply felt and compulsively watchable movies as Wilder has in one career MUST be a clever fraud. But Wilder was one of a small handful of Hollywood moviemakers who constantly pushed the boundaries of the Production Code, nearly always leaving the bar raised a little higher in his wake with each project...for which all of us in the audience (minus a few blue-haired biddies) must be grateful. Even a slightly flat souffle like SABRINA benefits from his presumption of the audience's intelligence: like all his work of this period, SABRINA is a movie for adults - although there are too many out there who assume this precludes idealism, romantic longing and fairy-tale fade-outs. Audrey Hepburn is extremely affecting in the lead role; already a star, her performance as the butterfly gamine Sabrina might be her finest. Bogart (hardly Wilder's favorite actor by a long shot) is miscast, not for his age - he's, after all, playing a man who is far too old to be romancing this girl - but his obvious antipathy for Hepburn (his famous quote on his co-star: "She's all right, if you don't mind a dozen takes") is a hurdle not even Wilder can overcome, yet this flaw is nearly offset by another great performance by William Holden, Wilder's lucky charm. Wilder consistently gave Holden the kind of roles that allowed him the kind of acerbic, straightforward wit & intelligence Bogart himself had made his bones with a decade earlier, with the added dimension of youthful virility and good looks. As a result, Holden became not just a huge star, but one with an undercurrent of integrity that served him beautifully in later films like THE WILD BUNCH. The 50s didn't yield very many brand-name marquee toppers of Holden's quality - Robert Ryan comes to mind, and Sterling Hayden showed flashes of it - and, if nothing else, SABRINA showed audiences that the Holden of SUNSET BLVD and STALAG 17 was also an accomplished comic actor, who nearly walks off with the picture. While it's true that SABRINA, for all its charm, is an overall disappointment from Wilder (it comes off a bit like Lubitsch-vinaigrette), take it in context: if this very entertaining comedy represents a failure for Wilder, imagine how good his triumphs are.
