DVD Reviews of Sabrina
DVD Review: Great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Movie is very nice and it is really an "evergreen". The additional contents are produced with high quality, giving a new view of the film, actors and locations.
It is a good way to make happy all the Sabrina in the world.
At last, a "must have".
DVD Review: Why Bogie?
Summary: 2 Stars
One major reason Billy Wilder is now considered one of film's major directors is his brilliant casting. For Sabrina, he wanted Cary Grant for the role that eventually went to Humphrey Bogart. Big mistake. Bogie's fatal miscasting eclipses this film from being outstanding although it's fun watching Audrey Hepburn and gorgeous William Holden. Hepburn later recalled that Bogart was sullen and aloof during the filming and it carries over into his performance Ah, to think of what Cary Grant could have done.DVD Review: Upon Mature Reconsideration....
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of these movies that has always been alluded to breathlessly, as the epitome of a certain kind of 50's romance, especially after the remake! Why, oh why, rose the piteous cry, why did Hollywood have to remake a movie so perfect, and with any actress but a perfect reincarnation of Audrey Hepburn at the height of her appeal in the title role?
I had never actually seen the original version of Sabrina all the way through and looked forward very much to watching it - and yes, it was a rather charming movie, and yes, indeed, that was rightfully one of Audrey Hepburn's best playing-of-herself-movies, but there were some elements of the plot which did not go over in quite the same lighthearted and charmingly romantic manner in 2008 than they did in 1958. Sabrina, the daughter of a wealthy Long Island family's chauffeur with an unrequited passion for the playboy son of the younger son of the Larrabee family, came off as something of a stalker in the early scenes. Her suicidal gesture, closing the garage doors and starting up all the automobiles, until rescued by the sober older Larrabee brother, played by Humphrey Bogart... that was likewise rather unsettling. And not just because Humphrey Bogart, dour and lugubrious, and about the last actor on earth that comes to mind when you think light, fluffy romantic comedy was cast as the other half of the romantic duo. It was as if he had wandered in from another movie entirely. What would `Sabrina' have been like, if William Holden had played the older brother, and someone a little closer to Audrey Hepburn's apparent age had been cast as the scapegrace younger brother? Ah, well. The rest of the casting is flawless, an expert mix of established supporting actors, especially Walter Hampton as the Larrabee paterfamilias, smoking a cigar about the size of a baseball bat.
The most interesting of the extra features focuses on the supporting cast, some of whom were more famous afterward in long-running TV series (Nancy Culp and Ellen Corby) or had been famous before, on stage or in silent movies (John Williams and Francis X Bushman). Another feature is about the modern-day Long Island town which provided authentic locations, some of which still remain basically unchanged (the railway station) and some stately mansions (alas, long gone).
DVD Review: when younger brother doesn't work out, older brother is ok too
Summary: 1 Stars
[warning: movie spoiler ahead...] this movie is a bit weird... if Sabrina didn't marry the younger brother, the elder brother is fine too... he is rich and have social status too. She found that the love between her and the younger brother didn't work out, so she needs no time to recover but can immdiately fall in love with the older brother? To me it seems a bit weird.DVD Review: Sabrina the Centennial Collection
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed seeing the original version of 'Sabrina'. I realized what a classic it truly is and how little the recent Harrison Ford version had changed from this one. If you only seen the Harrison Ford 'Sabrina', pop some pop-corn and take the time and see this one. You'll enjoy it.
Description of Sabrina
Modern-day Cinderella story in which the daughter of a wealthy family's chauffeur is transformed into a graceful woman, capturing the attention of the sons of the family.Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: NR
Release Date: 29-DEC-2004
Media Type: DVD
Audrey Hepburn is the delightful young Sabrina, the daughter of a chauffeur who is hopelessly in love with David Larrabee (William Holden), the playboy younger son in the rich Long Island household her father works for. In order to help her forget her woes, Sabrina is shipped off to cooking school in Paris. While there, she befriends a baron who provides a bit of culture--and the encouragement to snip off her childlike ponytail. Upon her return to New York, Sabrina is transformed into a sophisticated woman, and David is entranced by her. However, his older brother Linus (Humphrey Bogart) has arranged David's marriage to Elizabeth Tyson in order to seal a business merger and thus must steer David away from Sabrina. To do this, Linus takes on the task of wooing her for himself. Full of great dialogue ("A woman happy in love, she burns the souffl?; a woman unhappy in love, she forgets to turn on the oven") and wonderful performances, this film is a romantic masterpiece. Also enjoyable is the 1995 remake, starring Julia Ormond and Harrison Ford. --Jenny Brown
