Sabrina [DVD] [1954]

I love this film. Both this version and the more recent version with Harrison Ford.

Our favourite movie.

This is an ultimate romantic comedy but also a proper film with good script, witty dialogue and beautiful cut; a true classic. I don't know how many times I have seen this film over the years but I still find it utterly fascinating. "Sabrina" is a must-see film for anyone who loves films of the type "Pretty woman" or "Pride and prejudice". The storyline is simple enough. Sabrina is daughter of the chauffeur of a wealthy family. All her young life she has had a huge crush on family's no-good son who has not even noticed her. She is sent to Paris to a cooking school and when she comes back after two years she is all grown-up and Parisian chic and she gets all the attention she has ever wished for. But the family does not approve the idea of their son marrying servant's daughter so the older brother, a confirmed bachelor steps in to disturb the plans.

If you are into movies of the 50's this film will suit you. Despite the acknowledgement that there were off-screen tensions between Bogart and Hepburn, I felt they had surprisingly good chemistry. This rom-com focuses on Sabrina the chauffeurs daughter and two brothers, who the chauffeur works for. They both have an interest in her the moment she returns from Paris and is glamorous. It is a typical cinderella moment when she returns from her trip and the younger brother instantly falls for her, which jeopardises the family business. The film is fairly light hearted and concentrates on both an instant lust and a slow burning love. The actors are all fantastic in their own rights and I felt their high standards were maintained, although this is not a very famous film for these actors. This film is great for anyone looking for a romantic tale, of sibling rivalry and a woman torn between two men, and recommended for any established fans of Hepburn, Bogart, or Holden. If you haven't come across these three, I would suggest watching this after their more well known titles such as 'Casablanca', or 'Breakfast at Tiffanies' to fully appreciate these classic stars, on their own.

A good film with excellent actors

A great film-really good entertainment!

Classic Bogart movie about what's most important and who's most important in life

I remember this film when it was released so I knew that I would enjoy it so I look forward to watching it again. Thank you
