Well, who'd have thought you could still so enjoy a 1954 movie, but honestly.....I enjoyed every minute of it. The laugh aloud, and feel deep down good kind of joy.
It's stuff that fairy tales are made of.......a mix of Cinderella, Ugly duckling, Snow White....the best of those.
Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Boghart and William Holden bring the fairy tale alive. Poor girl, Rich boy. Simpleton turned Lady. Attempted sabotage to real love. The makes.
Sabrina as the poor girl, the chauffeurs daughter has a major crush on David...... even climbing over trees to overlook the fancy parties and blatant flirtations of David. He, of course, doesn't seem to know she exists. The Poor girl then goes off to Paris for a one year course in cooking, coming back the classy and elegant lady ( a la another favorite, My Fair Lady), so transformed that David doesn't even recognize her, and now downright wants her.
Linus, the serious and responsible brother tries hard to separate the two, and in the process falls in love with her...and of course she with him. Well....it is fairy tale material :)
And what's best is that we're ready to flow, no skepticism whatsoever, be it that David doesn't recognize her when she's back, or that she doesn't realize that Linus is trying to keep her away from David, or that Linus is unaware that he is falling in love with her......we're happy to believe the happy stuff.
All part of the magic that's quintessential romantic.
