Editorial Reviews

Billy Wilder directs the lighthearted romantic comedy Sabrina, based on the play by Samuel A. Taylor. Sabrina Fairchild (Audrey Hepburn) is the simple, naïve daughter of a chauffeur, Thomas Fairchild (John Williams). They live on an estate with the wealthy Oliver Larrabee (Walter Hampden) and his two sons: workaholic older brother Linus (Humphrey Bogart) and fun-loving younger brother David (William Holden). Sabrina adores the charming David, but he thinks of her as just a kid. Her father sends her away to Paris for chef school, where she meets Baron St. Fontanel (Marcel Dalio), and she returns a worldly, sophisticated woman. David immediately falls for her, but he is already engaged to marry heiress Elizabeth Tyson (Martha Hyer). Sabrina wants to break up the wedding in order to finally catch the man of her dreams, while Linus fights to keep the marriage on in the interest of family business and Mr. Tyson's (Francis X. Bushman) fortune. In order to keep Sabrina away from David, Linus pretends to court her himself. In doing so, they eventually realize their true feelings for each another.

March 12, 2006: This is a cute movie but I found Sabrina to be a little too neurotic. Yes she came back from Paris looking sophisticated and beautiful but I never got the feelng that she changed emotionally and was still the same neurotic girl and there was no chemistry between Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart who rumor has it didn't like Audrey because he wanted his wife Lauren Becall to play Sabrina and I think the friction definitely showed and there was just no chemistry.

September 05, 2005: Acquiring Samuel Taylor's hit Broadway comedy "Sabrina Fair" for the movies, Billy Wilder cast the title role with Audrey Hepburn as the Long Island chauffeur's daughter, who ages from nineteen to twenty-one during the film, the title of which was abbreviated (except in Britain) to a mere "Sabrina". The twenty-four-year-old Hepburn's leading men were William Holden (thirty-six) as her employer's irresponsible "young" playboy son and Humphrey Bogart (fifty-five) as his soberly work-oriented older brother. Wilder had intended the latter role for Cary Grant (forty-nine), who declined to play a "stuffy businessman," so Bogart was a last minute replacement. Playwright Samuel Taylor collaborated with Wilder and Ernest Lehman on this adaptation of Taylor's play, which lost some subsidiary characters and gained others. And it was "opened up" to allow for the Parisian sequence where Sabrina grows from awkward teenager to a chic, sophisticated twenty-one, as she studies French cooking. "Sabrina" uses the Cinderella theme of Taylor's long-running Broadway comedy. It's a Hollywood picture--wealthy characters, Long Island estate, Wall Street associations, Rolls Royce and Paris gowns. Wilder takes Taylor's play and spreads it out over the rich, luxurious area that was only suggested on the stage, thereby adding a great deal of atmosphere to it and endowing it with credibility. Slick wisecracks abound, and Wilder gleefully lets his audience know the outcome long before his screen characters perceive it. This is really Audrey's picture, since she has the title role and has come to it trailing her triumph from the previous year's "Roman Holiday". And indeed, she is wonderful in it--an actress of extraordinary range of sensitive and moving expressions within such a frail and slender frame. She is even more luminous as the daughter and pet of the servants' hall than she was as a princess. "Sabrina" is pure pleasure. "Sabrina" was a commercial hit. Paramount Studios shrewdly capitalized on the fact that the film boasted a total of four Oscar winners--Bogart for "The African Queen," Hepburn for "Roman Holiday," Holden for Billy Wilder's "Stalag 17," and even Billy himself for "The Lost Weekend". The director, finally, was getting to be a kind of star. "Sabrina" was Billy Wilder's last film for Paramount--a good-bye present that brought in enough money to make up for the previous excursion into the lower depths of "Ace in the Hole" (1951).
