   Sabrina's place in movie history is that it helped make Audrey Hepburn a fashion icon. As a romance, I'm less engaged, either with the classist notion that lower classes should dream of marrying into the upper classes, or with Hepburn's only two choices being so poor in everything but money. Sabrina can be with William Holden, who carries on with her but is engaged to another woman, or with Humphrey Bogart, a mercenary pragmatist who mostly doesn't want his brother to screw up a marriage-dependent merger, but ends up falling in love with her (and I guess that's good enough for her). No one age-appropriate in sight. Billy Wilder might have had something to gain from pushing the comedy more, in this case. There are some fun bits - the cooking school, Walter Hampden's shtick as the elderly patriarch, and so on - but more might have helped justify the ridiculousness of the love triangle and how it resolves.

   Dieguito, Katherine and Audrey Hepburn are not mother and daughter, they are not related. In fact, as far as I know Katherine Hepburn had no children. 11 years 9 months ago
