Bogart and Hepburn have real chemistry - Sabrina review by CP Customer
Much better than the more recent remake. Bogart and Hepburn have real chemistry, and the tongue in cheek nature of the comedy makes this film timelesss. Definately one to watch.

Utter garbage - Sabrina review by DH
Sorry but a stellar cast who just turned up for the paycheck. This is a terrible movie. I am an absolute fan of Hepburn not so much the mumbling over rated Bogart. Hepburn I didn't think made a bad movie but then we found this one. Dreadful!

Cynical Romcom. - Sabrina review by Steve
Critics often associate Billy Wilder with a cynical outlook on human behaviour, and this is one of the times when this bitterness reveals a lack of taste. The fault is in the premise; that the imperious manipulation of a super-rich family towards their chauffeur’s young daughter is suitable material for a rom-com.
The outcome tries to position all this as a fairytale romance, with the commoner marrying a wealthy man. But it doesn’t compute. It may be that the Production Code wouldn’t stand for American capitalists being openly evaluated as rapacious sociopaths, and to be fair to Wilder, at a subtextual level he offers some push back.
The only positive is Audrey Hepburn, at her most winsome and adorable. And beautiful. Humphrey Bogart and William Holden are both far too old as the privileged bachelors speculating on her affections. But she is irresistible, and even a period icon in her Givenchy fashions.
Apparently the production was rancorous, which perhaps is felt. There is plenty of studio polish, but the supposition of class entitlement is too hard to endure. The driver accepts the deception of his daughter without a murmur. It’s not even funny. This is my pick as the great director’s worst film.
