 Stomp Tokyo Review - Sabrina (1954)
Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn) has grown up on the Larrabee estate, watching David (William Holden) as he grew up alongside her.
Still, it is Bogart's character who does the majority of the growing as the film progresses -- he's the one who initiates most of the action, he's the one who ends up with the girl, and he's the one who turns from heartless corporate raider to romantic fool.
Sabrina remains who she is from the time she returns to Paris.

Although SABRINA was only Audrey Hepburn's second film she was captivating in the title role, this proving that her Oscar win for ROMAN HOLIDAY was not a fluke.

Film grain is occasionally noticeable during the presentation, but it is never objectionable.

Sabrina's time in Paris teaches her feminine skills that make her attractive for American consumption, and because Sabrina must be out of the way for David Larrabee to marry into the sugarcane business, Linus's courtship with her is originally just another business move for the greater good.
Films of that era, like Sabrina, she argues, twist the classic Cinderella story to fit the gendered metaphors intrinsic in foreign policy of the time, namely that Europe, as the “culturally savvy orphan” is in need of a “strong rich man,” like America, to save it.
The Sabrina character is in the fashion industry, less domestic than cooking, and while in Paris she "finds herself." This autonomous description is at odds with her actions, though, as she still displays a tendency towards caretaking.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Sabrina (1954)
In the case of 1954's Sabrina — one of the most beloved films from Hollywood's golden age — it's a wonder that it was ever completed at all.
Sabrina has been in love with the handsome David since she was a young girl, but she herself is barely noticed by anybody at the massive Larrabee mansion — she's just the shy chauffeur's daughter who would sooner hide from adults than speak to them.
And while she had the range to star in such films as The Nun's Story and My Fair Lady, it is her winsome turns in Sabrina, Roman Holiday, and the evergreen Breakfast at Tiffany's that will always define the Hepburn charm.

 Movie Reviews by Edwin Jahiel
The superficial differences between the Wilder and the Pollack films are in the updating of the story by adjusting for inflation (the 1954 million is now a billion), and means of locomotion (the Concorde, private helicopters and jets).
While throughout the first film, Hepburn convinces us with her many expressions and her romantic, schoolgirl crush on David, Ormond looks by comparison, older, stolid, rather expressionless, and generates about 70 watts of electricity with Ford and 40 watts without him.
Sabrina goes to cooking school where the teacher-chef is very funny, while Marcel Dalio plays an elderly student, a delightful nobleman who sophisticates Sabrina.

It was directed by Sydney Pollack, and stars Harrison Ford as Linus Larrabee, Julia Ormond as Sabrina and Greg Kinnear as David Larrabee.

Sabrina was the beginning the association between Hepburn, Paris, and Givenchy: the city itself is the symbol of style, transformation, and the revelation of a new kind of femininity.
Crowther cites the film as "the most delightful comedy-romance in years," and imparts the kindest words upon Humphrey Bogart and William Holden; he claims it is their film as much as it is Hepburn's.
In Sabrina, this is the case not only for the luxurious white-and-fl gown Sabrina wears in the ballroom scene: when William Holden’s character suffers a case of mistaken identity at the Glen Cove train station, the viewer is transfixed by the Givenchy-designed “Parisian suit” the new Sabrina wears.

 ChatTimes Movie Reviews: "Sabrina"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Billy Wilder's source-film, a 1954 adaptation of Samuel Taylor's stage play, is one of the great eccentricities of postwar Hollywood: a Cinderella-meets-Pygmalion fantasy that makes perfect sense of an unlikely romantic teaming -- a naturally vivacious Audrey Hepburn with a naturally gloomy Humphrey Bogart.
"Sabrina" is a timid little commoner who has grown up longing for the rich-as-Croesus lifestyle of her father's employers, the Larrabee family.
Playboy brother David (Greg Kinnear, in the film's most effortlessly engaging performance) falls promptly for the revamped Sabrina, but a romance here would botch an important merger of wealthy families.

Audrey Hepburn is the delightful, young, eponymous Sabrina, the daughter of a chauffeur who is hopelessly in love with David Larrabee (William Holden), the playboy younger son in the rich Long Island household her father works for.
Sabrina's sent to a cooking school in Paris, which not only prepares her for a vocation, but to help her get over her crush over David Larrabee (William Holden), the dashing playboy who spent short periods at many colleges and even shorter periods with his three wives (consecutive, of course).
Yet Sabrina, who's reluctantly wooed by Linus to salvage the deal, finds out there's more to him than just the "cold businessman...with ice in his veins, ticker tape coming from his heart." She finds out he's nice and quite human.

Full of great dialogue ("A woman happy in love, she burns the soufflé; a woman unhappy in love, she forgets to turn on the oven") and wonderful performances, this film is a romantic masterpiece.

Sabrina could not have achieved a more glorious existence had she died and gone to heaven.
She watches the lavish parties thrown by the Larrabees from a spot in a tree and falls madly in the kind of puppy love that never goes away with the younger of the Larrabee brothers, David, who is the kind of guy who gives playboys a bad name.
The basic skeleton of this, the story from the first Sabrina (1954), which is dreamily romantic enough and then some, is greatly augmented here with some very fine psychological touches including developing Sabrina's character beyond the pretty and stylish to something bordering on the wise and heroic.

The film premiered in Prague last week, where it was shot at the Barrandov Studios, and in the streets and alleys of Prague: Where else could 19th century London be reproduced!

Audrey Hepburn plays Sabrina, a chauffeur's daughter (her father works as a chauffeur for the patriarch of the Larrabee household) who falls in love with one of two Larrabee brothers (William Holden) but ends up running into the other Larrabee (Humphrey Bogart).

This film, which won an Oscar for Edith Head's B&W Costume Design, received five other Oscar nominations including two for director Wilder (he shared the Best Screenplay honors) and Hepburn's second consecutive Best Actress nomination (following her win for Roman Holiday (1953)); it was also added to the National Film Registry in 2002.
Sabrina had been a shy, wallflower type, who worshiped the dashing playboy brother, until she goes away to school in Paris and comes back a sophisticated, lovely young woman, and chef.
Holden's character, already engaged to an important potential business partner's daughter (Martha Hyer - Some Came Running (1958)), is instantly attracted to the all new & grownup Sabrina, which jeopardizes the deal Bogart's character had been trying to do.
