    "A woman happily in love, she burns the souffle. A woman unhappily in love, she forgets to turn on the oven."

    A playboy becomes interested in the daughter of his family's chauffeur. But it's his more serious brother who would be the better man for her.

    It is wonderful to sit down and watch a film that simply captivates you and charms you the whole way through. There are almost no films that do that today, but 50 years ago that was the standard. This film is no different. Three of the biggest stars of all time: Humphrey Bogart, William Holden, and Audrey Hepburn teamed up with one of the best directors of all time, Billy Wilder, to create a beautiful and charming story that simply doesn't stop. The acting is good, as expected, and the screenplay is pure Wilderesque: a touch of romance combined with snappy dialogue and humorous one-liners. The movie may not end as the audience wants it to, but deep down we know that it is the way it should have ended. Wilder always knew how to make an opening (Sunset Blvd., Double Indemnity) and he also knows how to make a great final scene. This film has one, and it makes the film a classic. It's all in the family.

    A beautiful movie to look at with a decent performance from Humphrey Bogart. Audrey Hepburn plays the delicate little flower to a tee, but the story in this one's a little thin, kind of on the mundane side. Wilder has populated the supporting cast with rather lifeless types, and ...( read more)overall he misses the mark. A re-watchable classic, no question, but not all that great.

    A romantic Cinderella like film that has the status of a classic. Sure, it has great "Old Hollywood" stars in it and it's entertaining but the moral and ethics of the lead characters just doesn't make any sense to me. Still, beats almost all of the contemporary romcoms of the 21s...( read more)t century.

    a well-know audrey hepburn romantic classic directed by billy wilder, but mostly audience would gaze upon hepburn's tomboyish glamour regardless of wilder's cynical undertone toward the gap between the capitalist(larrabees) and the bourgeois(fairchild)....chauffeur's daughter sa...( read more)rbrina in rags falls in love the larrabee progical son david in silk, then her dream seems to be shattered since her innate conditions would never be competent enough to match the grandeur larrabees. after the reincarnation thru her trip to paris, she re-appears as the glittering fairy who captivate the heart of playboy david. then bogart's character linus as the elder brother of larrabees is a perky bussinessman with his steadfast shrewdness. to save a mergering case, linus tries to disguise as a male lonely heart to inspire sarbrina's pathos into affections, then he schemes to export her away to paris with a compensating sum. but on the contrary, she evocates his sympathetic pathos with her girlish innocence, then this pathos transforms into love. mutually their love is both driven by pathos: she pities him as a neglected lonesome man; he sympathesizes her as a youthful ingenune beguiled by his mercenary calulations. as i once concluded about humprey bogart: the idealistic vigor hidden beneath a strung-out elongated face written with sarcastic mockery, but actually he's the man with the mostly decent soul.
    this is truthfully wilder's hypothesis of possiblities of the bond between two social classes, as the chauffeur father's remarks about a glass board comparted in the middle of limousine as well as the difference of front seats and back seats, therefore democracy is a lie since most people would set eyes upon the chauffeur's daughter judgementally. at the end credit, linus decides to retrieve his dishonourability by re-unifying sarbrina and david...eventually he turns out to sarbrina's craved salvation.....if sarbarina's a bit less innocent and slightly less vulunerable, our cynical hero might not choose to do the right thing at last.
    "sarbrina" is a social satire wannabe, but hepburn's lengendary luster overshadows wilder's usual cynical touch as well as bogart's complexity as the last minute hero. wilder tends to dub saving grace for these characters at the final moment(such as miss kubelik's return to baxter in "the apartment"), and he also consent such redemption to "sarbrina" as well. but somehow hepburn's endearing charm overlayers any sarcastic remarks wilder might assign in the script....imagine if sarbrina was played by another actress in the 50s, it would just be as bittersweet as "the apartment" instead of an overwhelming romance. same happens with the sorbid capote tale "brakfast at tiffany's".....audrery hepburn could transfigure any material into a crowd-pleasing romantic piece, and it's my so called "hepburn myth"

    no es la mejor pelicula de Audrey Hepburn pero no estuvo mal, me pareció una mezcla de lo real y lo fantastico porque es típico en las jovenes enamorarse del "guapo" cuando realmente a quién necesitan es al bueno ;P

    Billy Wilder siempre supo como hacer una pelicula comica, no importaba si se basaba en el dialogo o en las situaciones, es sencillamente magia, pero aun cuando esta pelicula cuenta con algunos de esos elementos, para mi no funciona del todo, ya que para ser una comedia romantica,...( read more) nunca siento claramente cuando es que se enamoran los personajes principales, y por lo tanto se me hacen absurdas las cosas que quieren hacer despues, ya que no creo que haya amor, asi que aunque pienso que GRAN maravilla es ver a Audrey Hepburn y Humphrey Bogart en una pelicula juntos, no les compro su romance, talvez por falta de quimica, talvez porque pienso que Bogart es mal cast, ya que esta muy viejo y tieso, yo se que asi es el personaje pero se mira como si fuera Bogart batallando por el personaje y no el personaje batallando internamente, al contrario de esto, que mejor eleccion para Sabrina que Audrey Hepburn? realmente es maravillosa, su hermosura, su talento, su elegancia, su presencia y su naturalidad, todo se fusiona para hacer suyo el personaje.

    The original classic starring the flawless Audrey Hepburn is a favourite of mine. Hepburn, Bogart and Holden are wonderful, and this is one of the few Cinderella stories that stands the test of time.
    DEFINING SCENE ~ The ugly duckling transformation - Sabrina's return from Paris...( read more) is a joy to behold

    I think I now have a new respect for old black-and-white films. I loved this movie a lot and I don't have a bad thing to say about it.
    Audrey Hepburn was so beautiful and talented in this lovely film. It's impossible for you NOT to love her in this.

    This movie is really making me eager to see the remake.
    I liked how the movie ended though. It didn't give too much away.
    This was really funny and romantic. It's such an charming film and before I saw this, 'Ghost Town' was my favorite romantic comedy, but that was all changed.
    This is the best romantic comedy ever!



    This is a must-see for anyone who loves classics, Audrey Hepburn, romantic comedies, and, well, MOVIES, basically.
