Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Manthast Absolutely amazing

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

dsmith-25000 A very nice movie if you can get around the plot holes.You have to get around the idea that Sabrina falls out of love with David (who she has had a crush on for years) and into love with Linus in three days.Sabrina is flying back from France and taking Long Island Railroad (LIRR) to the Glen Cove station where she meets David by accident. But the LIRR didn't service Idlewild Airport (now JFK Airport). in 1954 (and still doesn't), You would have to take a bus or taxi (today a subway) to a LIRR station and then change. Also LIRR is a commuter rail (basically just an above ground subway), not an intercity rail line. This isn't practical for a lady with three suitcases and one dog. She would most likely take a taxi all the way home.At the end of the movie, Linus rushes to a tugboat to join Sabrina on the SS Liberte. Problems: Ticket had been changed from Linus' name to David's. Would the ship stop for a late passenger arriving by tugboat? Did Linus have his passport? He had no luggage. He would only have the little cash he was carrying. Except for Diners' Club, charge cards didn't exist.When Linus discussing plans to send Sabrina back to France he points out the Liberte dock (which would have been further north on the west site of Manhattan) from one window. Later in the final boardroom scene, you see the Staten Island Ferry (on the south tip of Manhattan) from another window. But it isn't clear if in the Larrabee building (show as located at 30 Broad St. near NY Stock Exchange) , they could see both the route of the Ferry and the dock for the Liberte , even when using different windows.Also note that in the final boardroom scene, you can see Staten Island Ferry and a large barge moving from left to right. If you watch closely, you will see that the scene is repeated several times.

powermandan Feeling like a million bucks; high on life; all of these phrases apply to me whenever I watch the single most underrated film of the 50s: Sabrina. It stars Audrey Hepburn as Sabrina alongside Humphrey Bogart and William Holden, and is directed by Billy Wilder. After seeing these quick facts, it was pretty evident that this movie would be great. But I had no idea that it would be at this almost unreachable level.This was the movie that made me fall in love with Audrey Hepburn. Her father is the chauffeur to the wealthy Larrabee family. She grew up with the hots for the son David (Holden) but he never noticed her. She spends two years in culinary school in Paris and returns home a knockout. I'd say the sole flaw of this movie is Audrey Hepburn is too beautiful for David not to like her back. Her look when she returns is not that much different. But whatever. When she returns, David finally takes notice to her and they start a romance. But he is already engaged to a woman who is right for the family business. But David is a playboy who is a little bit irresponsible. His older brother Linus (Bogart) is a workaholic who happens to also fall for Sabrina soon after. Which brother is right for her? Which one will she pick?Something I love about this film is it actually makes me laugh. I mean actual belly laughs. Maybe not as frequent or intensely as Wilder's Some Like It Hot, but close. And the romance that blossom in the love triangle is so beautiful as we watch the love and characters grow. It honestly doesn't matter who Sabrina ends up with. The movie makes too much love and glory to be disappointed by her decision. Easily one of my ten favourite films of the 1950's.

grantss The Larrabees are a wealthy family, living in a palatial estate on Long Island. Oldest brother Linus (played by Humphrey Bogart) is the formal, dour businessman, running the family company. David (William Holden) is a playboy. Among the staff living on the estate is the family chauffeur, Thomas Fairchild (John Williams), and his shy, awkward, plain daughter, Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn). Sabrina has had a crush on David for most of her life but he has hardly noticed her. Sabrina goes to study in Paris and comes back, two years later, a changed woman. She's sophisticated and beautiful and soon catches David's eye. However, David is engaged to Elizabeth Tyson (Martha Hyer), the daughter of a business mogul whose company Linus wants to merge with that of the Larrabees. If Sabrina wrecks the David- Elizabeth relationship it would likely spell the end of the business merger. Linus sets out to prevent Sabrina from getting in the way but in the process falls for her himself.Directed by one of the all-time greats, Billy Wilder, and starring Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn and William Holden this movie oozes class and style. Substance is in shorter supply, however. Plot is charming though a bit clumsy and not entirely solid. Some elements were too convenient or too contrived. Bogart and Holden were too old for their roles and Bogart seems overly stiff as Linus.However, Audrey Hepburn more than makes up for this, bringing beauty, sweetness, charm and elegance and lighting up the screen.Overall, a good romantic-drama, but hardly a classic.

SnoopyStyle Sabrina Fairchild (Audrey Hepburn) is the daughter of the chauffeur working for the Larrabees. Linus Larrabee (Humphrey Bogart) is the stiff older responsible son. Sabrina is infatuated with the irresponsible thrice-divorced playboy son David Larrabee (William Holden) but he only sees a little girl. He flirts with Gretchen Van Horn and she comically tries to kill herself on the eve of going to Paris for cooking school only to be rescued by Linus. The lovesick Sabrina is befriended by Baron St. Fontanel. Linus arranges David to marry Elizabeth Tyson for business reasons. David is taken by the returning Sabrina but he doesn't recognize her at first. With his business deal in jeopardy, Linus tries to lure Sabrina away from David.The lovely Audrey Hepburn is absolutely enchanting. She makes a good romance into a great one. The movie could try a little harder to make her a tomboy in the early parts. She owns the screen from start to finish. The thirty years difference between her and Bogie is problematic but she makes it work somehow. She is simply magic.
