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.
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.
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/I think we need a new rule at Free Republic: All posts that mention Audrey Hepburn must include a picture.
I'll start.
The original is one of my favorite movies, but the 1995 remake is worth seeing. Harrison Ford, Julia Ormond, Greg Kinnear, Nancy Marchand, and John Wood.
Audrey Hepburn. My daughter’s(16yo) favorite actress since she was about 8 or 9 years old. She has a bunch of her DVD’s.
I have never seen the original, but I wanted to give a shout out to the remake.
I know purists are against this, but the first time I ssaw the 1995 version with Harrison Ford, Julia Ormond (wow), and Greg Kinnear, I enjoyed it thoroughly. I thought it was a stretching role for Ford, who up until that time had really only played tough guys. He plays a character in this (Linus) whose loneliness was at times physically painful, but whose responsibility was to the family and the business. Also I always get a smile at the end, when the irresponsible David (Kinnear) steps up and rescues his older brother from what could be a life long absence of love.
It’s one of those films you don’t talk to you buddies about in the garage (Chick flick) but I have seen a couple of those that I take a secret pleasure in because of the writing, or acting.
Roman Holiday is a real gem - and terrific for all ages.
TNT says they “know drama” - and they mean violence and sex. But the last scene in Roman Holiday is the real stuff of drama. Magnificent acting and direction.
