SABRINA (1954) - AUDREY HEPBURN AND HUMPHREY BOGART - FULL LENGTH
🕑 Added 2025-09-04 21:07:28 +0000 UTCSabrina Fairchild is the young daughter of the Larrabee family's chauffeur, Thomas Fairchild, and has been in love with David Larrabee all her life. David, a three-times-married, non-working playboy, has never paid romantic attention to Sabrina. Since she has lived for years on the Larrabee estate in Long Island with her father, to David she is still a child.
Eavesdropping on a party at the mansion the night before she is to leave to attend the Le Cordon Bleucooking school in Paris, Sabrina watches, follows, and listens as David entices yet another woman into a dark and vacant indoor tennis court. Distraught, she leaves her father a suicide note and then starts all eight cars in the closed garage in order to kill herself. She is passing out from the fumes when Linus, David's older brother, opens the door, discovers her and carries her back to her quarters above the garage. She passes out upon arriving home.
After two years in Paris, Sabrina returns home an attractive, sophisticated woman. When her father is delayed from picking her up at the station, flirtatious David, passing by, offers her a lift without recognizing her. She accepts.

Considering your love of Audrey, I'm surprised you haven't seen "My Fair Lady" (or have you?)

Smart, sophisticated, and full of heart. And so many classic character actors of the day. Another Billy Wilder triumph. My thanks to Alex for the opportunity to discover this gem. And to Kemi for sharing her comments.
