Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A classic among classics
Review: A classy movie with three classy stars in leading roles. Humphrey Bogart and William Holden are the Larrabee brothers: hideously wealthy, and nothing like one another. Linus is the serious work-a-holic, and David is the playboy. Audrey Hepburn is captivating in the title role of Sabrina, the daughter of the Larrabee's English chauffer.

Sabrina falls in love with David Larrabee; she goes off to Paris to study cooking and returns a sophisticated young woman. David Larrabee is captivated by her; but one night during a party he sits on a wineglass and ends up in the hospital. Then begins the love affair between her and Linus Larrabee.

Already a fantastic actress, Sabrina is one of Audrey Hepburn's best films.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yeah; it's a five-star flick....
Review: True, it's pure Hollywood and there are some tiny flaws, but this movie is so enjoyable, that you easily overlook them. Bogart, Holden and Hepburn are all superb, as are most of the supporting cast, all of who work wonderfully as an ensemble. The remake simply can't hold a candle to Billy Wilder's direction and photography. Hepburn was never more beautiful, Holden never more sympathetic, Bogart rarely more charming. Trivia note: look for at least 4 future TV sitcom stars: Ellen Corby, Marion Ross (Happy Days) and Raymond Bailey and Nancy Kulp (Beverly Hillbillies)
