My appreciation for this movie has sky-rocketed this last week. I recently watched the new Sabrina with Harrison Ford… it didn’t even compare! This version is much much better! I’ve read the review for this movie… some think Bogart was too old for this movie or that the interplay between Hepburn and Bogart wasn’t good. I definitely disagree! The chemistry between Audrey and Bogart is fantastic… the screen just sparks with it! I’m not sure of the behind the screens of this movie… some say that Bogart and Hepburn didn’t work well together… all I know is that is produces something between them that is incomparable! Only couples like Cary Grant & Katharine Hepburn, Lauren Bacall & Bogart can produce this much chemistry on the screen!

I love the story of Sabrina…
Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn) is the plain looking daughter of a chauffer. She falls in love with the playboy son, David (William Holden), of the wealthy people her father serves. David doesn’t notice her… Her father sends her off to a cooking school in Paris and there she becomes transformed into a dazzlingly gorgeous young lady. She comes home stunningly beautiful and catches the eye of the playboy son, David. Linus (Bogart) has worked out a merger with this company and rich family who owns sugarcane plantations. Part of the deal is that David is marrying their daughter. So Linus has to draw Sabrina away from David, because he’s already engaged… and Sabrina falls in love with Linus… I won’t give the end away… I’ll just say it’s worth the watch… It leaves you satisfied. Sometimes you watch a movie and at the end you are like… “So?” … It didn’t end well… Well this is not one of those movies! I love this movie to death! The best Actors, music, and chemistry! A definite watch!

And with that dreamy-eyed wonder which so easily danced in Audrey Hepuburn’s face, we too, feel compelled to see her win the heart of flighty playboy David…but why is stiff-lipped brother Linus getting in the way?

Director extraordinaire William Wilder gracefully weaves another tale of “ugly duckling morphs into beautiful swan,” yet, we don’t feel like we’ve seen it quite like this. The film is charmingly comedic, yet never slapsticky like the recent remake. The production is highly viewable, and the marvelous clothing is eternally stylish on the three leads of Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and William Holden–all of them, Oscar winners, and Hepburn herself a nominee for this performance.

The tale shows a young whippersnapper chauffeur’s daughter (Hepburn) hopelessly enamored with the younger son of her father’s employer. Charming David (Holden) is a misguided, misdirected, fun-loving playboy who never wants for female attention, and could scarcely give young Sabrina the time of day. In hopes of ending this futile, unrequited love, Sabrina’s father sends her to study culinary arts in Paris.

During her tenure at the school, she not only learns how to cook (some funny moments there involving eggs and souffle), but how to be a woman worthy of capturing a man’s attention. The new, sophisticated, and sauve Sabrina instantly captures David’s attention upon her arrival, but now Linus, the older, settled, finacial wizard brother, is involved in the mix–and his reasons don’t quite seem like love…or is it only because he doesn’t know how to love?

Who will Sabrina end up with? Will she find joy with either brother? Will she feel she was “reaching for the moon”?

Besides being a story of a young woman’s coming of age, the film also shows the class struggle and resentment between the poor and rich. “There is a front seat, a back seat, and a window in between,” Sabrina’s chauffeur father firmly states. By Sabrina’s flirations with the sons, we are left to wonder if she will forever be seen as part of the “hired help”, and not a family member.

See this classic, and don’t bother to see the remake–it only pales in comparison. You won’t even notice the black and white cinematography as all three stars glow so brightly.
