Sabrina (1954)

Light romantic comedy directed by Billy Wilder. 

Audrey Hepburn stars in the title role. She thinks she’s in love with the wealthy Long Island next-door neighbour David (William Holden) but really she’s falling in love with his brother Linus (Humphrey Bogart). 

There are some nice moments but it’s not really funny enough to justify the slightly contorted plot. Hepburn and Bogart are both charismatic and charming, but you wish they had been given sharper, wittier lines to deliver. 

The film was remade in 1995 with Harrison Ford, Julia Ormond and Greg Kinnear.
