While she was growing up, Sabrina Fairchild spent more time perched in a tree watching the Larrabee family than she ever did on solid ground.
As the chauffeur's daughter on their lavish Long Island estate, Sabrina was invisible behind the branches, but she knew them all below - There is Maude Larrabee, the modern matriarch of the Larrabee Corporation; Linus Larrabee, the serious older son who expanded a successful family business into the world's largest communications company; and David, the handsome, fun-loving Larrabee, who was the center of Sabrina's world until she was shipped off to Paris.
After two years on the staff of Vogue magazine, Sabrina has returned to the Larrabee estate but now she has blossomed into a beautiful and sophisticated woman. And she's standing in the way of a billion dollar deal. You are cordially invited to the most surprising merger of the year.
Rated PG for some mild language. Did you know Edit. Trivia Sydney Pollack initially turned down the chance to direct the remake, thinking the material too dated to work effectively in Once he agreed to take it on, Pollack made sure he had the approval of the original's director, Billy Wilder. Goofs Linus leaves the first party early because he needs to check on the Tokyo markets before they close.
It is clearly not that late in the evening. Quotes Linus Larrabee : So, that really is a beautiful name. User reviews Review. Top review. A romantic comedy doesn't get better than this. I saw the original "Sabrina" before ever seeing the remake. I adored Audrey Hepburn in all of her movies, and this was not an exception. Her comedic timing was perfect. She was completely believable as a young ingenue, and of course, she would not be Audrey Hepburn if she weren't absolutely breakthtaking on screen.
But while I enjoyed the original, I have seen it only once, whereas I have seen the remake so many times I have lost count! The "Sabrina" is a gem of a film. I keep hearing myself describe it as funny, but sometimes I wonder if that's even the right word.
That's because except for that rather unexpected burst of laughter from Linus' secretary, which cracks me up EVERY time I get to that part, I have never found myself laughing aloud while watching this movie. But the humor is so cleverly written, it is impossible to ignore just how charming and comical this movie is. The script is wonderfully brought to life by the outstanding cast. Harrison Ford is superb as Linus Larrabee. He plays Linus as a serious and almost ruthless businessman, and yet gains our sympathy as he gradually shows a tender and vulnerable side to Linus' cool exterior.
Greg Kinnear is well-cast as Linus' dish of a younger brother, David. True, David is self-centered, careless, and carefree. But Greg Kinnear plays him with utter charm that we understand why Sabrina and women in general are so taken with him. And what of Julia Ormond? It has some great scenes. It seems to always work when Julia Ormond gets emotionally walloped. She's possibly the best part of the movie. Ford just doesn't have that extra gear to be the sensitive romantic lead when the movie calls for it.
Light though overlong romantic comedy-remake of the classic movie with nice actors , luxurious scenarios and decent direction. The known story of Sabrina this role is a good vehicle for Julia Ormond , the chauffeur's daughter , who falls in love for a millionaire Greg Kinnear in his film debut , the handsome younger brother in the wealthy mansion where her daddy works.
But then , his older brother Harrison Ford a solid acting by this veteran actor and their mother Nancy Marchand are opposed to this relation. As the older sibling attempts to woo her away for for strictly business issues. Including some scenes from Paris which are particularly lovely and fun.
Interesting and amusing screenplay based on the script written long time ago by Billy Wilder , Ernest Lehman and Samuel Taylor , being rightly adapted with surehand writing by David Rayfield and Barbara Benedek. Main cast is frankly excellent , though Julia Ormond as gorgeous young who has a longlife crush on Greg Kinnear -as a womanizer billionaire- are far from Audrey Hepburn and William Holden respectively. Colorful as well as glamorous cinematography by Giuseppe Rotunno , Federico Fellini,'s regular cameraman.
Marvelous and sensitive musical score by the great comp0ser John Williams , Spielberg's usual. This motion picture reboot -acceptable if overlong for a romantic yarn- was professionaly directed by Sidney Pollack , but without originality.
Director Sydney Pollack a very talented filmmaker must've have gone into this remake of 's "Sabrina" knowing that he could never capture lighting again in the same bottle. Old-fashioned plot about a mousy chauffeur's daughter returning from a Paris trip looking like a million bucks and being wooed by two wealthy brothers was done complete justice by Billy Wilder in '54, directing an incandescent Audrey Hepburn in the title role.
Here, Pollack assembles a solid cast but can't manage to update the plot without seeming plastic; all the magic is mechanical and artificial. Julia Ormond has the thankless task of trying to fill La Hepburn's shoes, though Harrison Ford and Greg Kinnear are well-cast as the brothers and the romantic sweep of Sabrina's story makes this passable entertainment.
It certainly wasn't a well-advised move to redo a classic, but the attempt itself in this cynical age is--at the most--commendable. Login Register. Loading, please wait. Quality: All p p p 3D. Year: All
