“Sabrina”

“Sabrina” is a romantic comedy from 1954 by Paramount Films Audrey Hepburn plays the part of Sabrina Fairchild who goes to Paris to learn cooking. Did I mention that her father sent her there so she could get over her father’s boss’s son?

When Sabrina comes back from Paris grown up and sophisticated, she falls in love with both of the mega-rich Larrabee brothers, whose family and friends definitely do not approve because she is the chauffeur’s daughter. First she breaks up the engagement of David and Elizabeth, which was put together for business reasons, and then David sits on champagne glasses. When David is put to bed rest with 25 stitches, he assigns his brother Linus to acquaint her for the time being. What David and Sabrina don’t know is that Linus was trying to send her back to Paris for her own good. While trying to carry out that plan, they fall in love as Sabrina falls out of love with David. To fix the problem she created, Sabrina decides to go back to Paris so as not to create any more trouble. Elizabeth and David stay together and Linus goes to catch the boat Sabrina is on for Paris because David made him realize he is in love with her after all.

I loved this movie to pieces. I couldn’t possibly say what part of this movie I liked most, because I liked the whole thing so much! But I must say Audrey Hepburn has a lovely voice. She sung wonderfully in the movie both in English and French.

I love to watch the old movie stars from the past in classic movies.  Out of all the famous movie stars from the past,   I would have to choose Audrey Hepburn as my most popular movie star.  She is adorable and epitimizes the world of old classic movies.  Everything about Audrey Hepburn-the hair, the voice and how she portrays different characters puts her at the top of my most popular movie stars.

Famous Audrey Hepburn Movies include: Roman Holiday, Breakfast At Tiffany’s, Sabrina and Funny Face just to name a few.  Still today she is considered one of the most popular movie stars of all time.
