Sabrina

If they had cast a different group of actors to play Sabrina and the Larrabee brothers, I have a feeling that my overall feelings towards the movie would have been different. Sabrina truly succeeds on the weight of its acting. It takes a certain amount of talent to pull off the wit and charisma the script demands but in the end, Bogie ends up being Bogie, Hepburn is Hepburn through and through and Holden plays off both of them. Add a multi-talented supporting cast led, in my opinion, by the classic Walter Hampden and Sabrina becomes a classic Hollywood treat that you can enjoy whenever you're in the mood.

Sabrina returns from a two year trip for school to Paris. As the chauffeur's daughter to a wealthy business family, she fancies their younger son, who was not only her childhood friend, but is also the troublesome playboy of the family as well.

Although I'm skeptical of some of Sabrina's six Oscar nominations, it's hard to argue that it was a beautiful effort in a year dominated by Brando's On the Waterfront. Anyone curious about why Audrey Hepburn is revered the way she is should check out this movie and draw their own conclusions. Here she is surrounded by an accomplished cast, received an Oscar nomination for her acting, and is forever known as one of Hollywood's all-time greats according to many opinions.
