Amazon.com essential video Audrey Hepburn is the delightful young 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. In order to help her forget her woes, Sabrina is shipped off to cooking school in Paris. While there, she befriends a baron who provides a bit of culture--and the encouragement to snip off her childlike ponytail. Upon her return to New York, Sabrina is transformed into a sophisticated woman, and David is entranced by her. However, his older brother Linus (Humphrey Bogart) has arranged David's marriage to Elizabeth Tyson in order to seal a business merger and thus must steer David away from Sabrina. To do this, Linus takes on the task of wooing her for himself. Full of great dialogue ("A woman happy in love, she burns the souffle; a woman unhappy in love, she forgets to turn on the oven") and wonderful performances, this film is a romantic masterpiece. Also enjoyable is the 1995 remake, starring Julia Ormond and Harrison Ford. --Jenny Brown

Best gift January 8, 2009 I bought this DVD for my 17 year old neice and she loved it! when she opened it Christmas Eve she screamed, I think it was what she wanted!!
Three of the Greatest Actors In One Great Film December 3, 2008 Let me start out by saying that if you've seen the remake with Harrison Ford, I am so sorry, but this film will erase that from your memory. You've got Audrey Hepburn, one of the greatest actresses of all time and my personal favorite, as the beautiful title character and Humphrey Bogart, perhaps the greatest actor there ever was and also my favorite actor, and William Holden, another big shot, fighting over her heart as hillarity ensues, in what has to be one of the essential classic Romantic Comedies.
Greatness...But.. November 15, 2008 It is certainly time that this film (and especially Roman Holiday) get a more complete DVD. However I dont understand why it is only available in Full screen? There may be a specific reason for this but I am not aware of one..
'No Man Walks Alone By Choice' October 27, 2008 'Sabrina' is by far one of the greatest romantic comedies ever put on celluloid. Everyone here is pitch-perfect: Hepburn, Holden, Bogie and the incomparable Billy Wilder. This is a classic Cinderella-esque story of a young, poor girl hopelessly in love with the son of her father's employer. After she goes off to live in Paris for a few years, she returns a ravishing young woman. Then the fun ensues.
Not much else to think about here, just a great story for anyone who's ever had a crush on someone that doesn't know you exist. Funny, playful, sweet and romantic, 'Sabrina' is one of the great studio-era films.
Old Time Favorite September 30, 2008 While the remade "Sabrina" with Harrison Ford is okay, this version with Audrey Hepburn, William Holden and Humphrey Bogart is my all time favorite. I can watch it over and over. The fashions are classic, the acting great..some of the lines are memorable and I love the song "La Vie en Rose" Of course, I am a fan of old classic movies, especially black and white.
