Thanks...I’ve put it in our queue. We watch mostly the classics. (No TV, all netflix)
Yes, Sabrina is a splendid movie. One of the great classics. Although, off hand, I can’t think of a bad movie with Bogart in it.
Instead of going to the theater to see a crummy remake, I prefer to buy the old DVDs of the classic movies and watch them on a home screen.
In fact, they have bundles of classics that you can buy, 50 movies at a time, for an amazing price. Why feed the left wing jerks in Hollywood today?
Love the original.
Elegant and beautiful.
And I can't think of a bad movie with Audrey Hepburn in it :)
“In fact, they have bundles of classics that you can buy, 50 movies at a time, for an amazing price.”
Wow. How? I usually get them for $5 at a time at Walmart or used.
A very good movie, but Bogart was horribly miscast in it. IT is almost as if it were Rich Little playing the part as if it were acted by Humphrey Bogart.
We love it (even if it was written by a communist).
The bio about the movie said that Cary Grant dropped the role shortly before shooting began.
What I liked about Bogie (besides him being Bogie) was that she had a real choice to make: young, dashing and irresponsible v. old, staid and yearning to live.
Cary Grant would have made it too easy a choice over William Holden.
I wonder why?????$$$$$
"This stunning yet simple black cocktail dress which Audrey Hepburn wore in the 1954 romantic comedy Sabrina is – believe it or not – one of the most controversial frocks in cinema history. It helped to make Sabrina one of the most stylish films of the 1950s – and to establish its young star’s famous chic gamine look. It also marked her first collaboration with Hubert de Givenchy, the French couturier, with whom her style would be inextricably linked for the rest of her life." http://alisonkerr.wordpress.com/2011/03/20/style-on-film-sabrina/
Amazon carries 50-movie packs, plus other bargains. You may get a few movies you don’t want, but most of the packs are filled with real classics.
I think we need a new rule at Free Republic: All posts that mention Audrey Hepburn must include a picture.
I'll start.
Being from a family of blondes, I always wanted to look like Hepburn or Wood. Hepburn has the class!!
I wonder why the dress was considered controversial? Looks fine to me.
I haven't seen the movie, but your comment sums up the fifties in general. It was a time when people aspired to live better and nicer lives and Hollywood actually reflected those aspirations. That, of course, drove the hard left crazy, whence the sixties and seventies.
