Sabrina (1954, U.S.)

Generally I love Audrey Hepburn, and Sabrina is supposed to be a classic, but this one gets a general rating of "eh." It was okay. Maybe I've just seen one too many rich man / poor girl films. One too many love triangles. Also, I'm just not that much of a Bogey fan, which I'm sure didn't help.

Don't get me wrong, it was still pretty funny and romantic, and the class truly puts modern romantic comedies to shame. But it was no Roman Holiday or It Happened One Night.

I'm not going to strongly recommend it, but I'm not going to dismiss it outright either. It has its merits. It's a classic. Maybe if I was in a different mood when I watched it I would have loved it. But it is worth seeing, one way or the other.

Rating: 3.0
