Sabrina (1954) Review

Sabrina Fairchild is the daughter of a rich families chauffeur and she has always been head over heels in love with David Larrabee. After a trip away she returns and it is actually his older brother Linus who begins to be a more suited match for her.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is one hundred percent one of those films as I was watching it, I was left wondering how it has taken me until 2023 to watch. I mean come on we all know I adore Bogart right? Then Audrey Hepburn is always just so wonderful in which ever role. A perfect choice of a film that I was bound to adore!

A love triangle is always the perfect choice for a romantic film isn’t it, as it always just works. In this instance the fact that the main men are brothers obviously adds to the drama of it all. Sabrina’s father wanted more for her in life and after moving to Paris for two years on her return David is eventually paying attention to her. He has been divorced three times and about to announce a 4th engagement, not really the type of man you should want to be with!

Linus is the opposite of his brother and has given up on ever being with anyone and had been more focused on the business side. When he spends time with Sabrina, they both fall in love with one another but won’t actually admit it. That actually made it even more wonderful in my opinion, as it makes you wonder how many people will fall in love that way and then risk never being together.

This film with Billy Wilder as director and a co-writer also confirms that I really do just love his films and should probably seek out more to watch and enjoy. He seems to just speak to me on so many levels and given the age of these films now I find that to be one of the most remarkable aspects of watching films. Maybe I was just born at the wrong time for how much better romance seems to be in these deeply moving stories!
