Sabrina (1954)
What is the Genre?
Romance/Comedy
Romantic comedies are some of my favorite films. I love seeing stories where the main characters go through comical situations before discovering true love. Sabrina is one of the most endearing films of this genre. Whether needing a refreshing film for a hot summer day or a cozy movie for a cold winter night, romantic comedies are always good to have close by.
Why watch Sabrina?
Sabrina has an all-star cast including Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and William Holden; three of Hollywood’s best stars during this period. In addition, to talented actors, this film tells an endearing, timeless story. Sabrina is about a chauffeur’s daughter who reaches for the moon in her love life—much to her father’s chagrin.
Ever since a little girl, Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn) has been in love with her father’s employer’s son, David Larrabee (William Holden). Sadly, David doesn’t even realize that Sabrina exists. To break up the unhealthy romantic infatuation, Sabrina’s father (John Williams) decides to send her to culinary school in Paris.
The comical situations arise once Sabrina comes back from Paris. Not as the young, gangly chauffeur’s daughter, but as a young, ravishing beauty. Suddenly, the moon reaches for Sabrina as she captivates David Larrabee’s heart. The only things Sabrina didn’t count on were two broken champagne bottles, a very attractive Linus Larrabee (Humphrey Bogart) knocking on her heart, and a million-dollar plastic merger that could upset Larrabee Industries—all of which send Sabrina on a comical, sometimes heart-warming adventure to find true love. As Sabrina would say, let la vie en rose entrance you in this classic film that is sure to make you see the world through rose-colored glasses…at least for the next two hours!
