Sabrina

Sabrina (1954) starring Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn, William Holden. Directed by Billy Wilder. Sabrina (Hepburn), the chauffeur's daughter, has a crush on David Larrabee (Holden), scion of an American industrial dynasty, and son of her father's boss. When she goes away to Paris for two years, she matures and, upon her return, David suddenly grows interested in her. This alarms the Larrabee family, and David's brother Linus (Bogart) sets out to break up the budding romance. Naturally, Sabrina and Linus fall in love -- more movie magic, since Bogart was 54, Hepburn 25 when the movie was made. But that aside, this is a rather thoroughly charming movie, and Hepburn especially captures the heart. The subtitles and captions are both good. Grade: A-
