Sabrina (1954)
Directed by Billy
Wilder this adaptation of the play “Sabrina Fair” stars Humphrey
Bogart, Audrey Hepburn and William Holden. The chauffeur's daughter
has an unrequited crush on the playboy second son of the family her
father works for, upon returning from a trip to Paris she gets the
boys attention.
This film really fits
into what your expectations are of an older romance film and despite
having a fairly simple love triangle plot is well made. Casting
Bogart as the male lead does seem a little out of place to me but his
performance is good and Audrey Hepburn is always excellent as the
wide eyed young girl. Despite being a lighter piece than some of
Billy Wilder's other films this is still well worth a look for the
right occasion.
4/5
