Sabrina is a charming Cinderella like story without the wicked step mother, but with a father, the clever chauffeur played by the much loved British actor John Wood (Chocolat, Shadowlands, War Games) I just love John Wood! The story is about two brothers who have really lost common sense. One was too busy being a business tycoon and stepping on everybody in sight to know who he was and to enjoy himself. One must know one's self before he can enjoy who he is. "Linus Larrabee " does not know himself. "Linus" is played by Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Regarding Henry) and is a very masculine looking, brilliant actor that I grew up watching. My husband and I watched him on " Actor's Studio" and he really knows his craft, he explains it so well. The other brother, "David Larrabee ", was too busy living in the state of infatuation to enjoy or even understand true love. "David" is played by cute Greg Kinnear (You've Got Mail, As Good As It Gets) {two movies ranked among my favorites}. I found the movie to have great and very funny lines which I missed when I got the video when it first came out. I was too busy not approving the remake to enjoy the new movie, because I really liked Audrey Hepburn. Now I cannot forget to mentioned the mother, "Maude Larrabee" played by the late Nancy Marchand. I always enjoyed her charming roles, specially in "Lou Grant" I like the music of the film, and "Sabrina " played by Julia Ormond (Smilla's Sense of Snow, First Knight, Legends of the Fall) a very likable character which the only problem I have with is how fast she bloomed. She is a beautiful woman. After I rediscovered the movie, I have watched it three times, and I know it will be among my favorites. Well done Sydney Pollack! He is a great director with a great eyes for beauty!
Favorite quotes: Sabrina to Linus: "You are the world's only heart donor!"
Linus to Sabrina: "How do you say: I am looking at what I want." Sabrina:" I don't remember." Linus: You convinced me that there were some things missing in my life."
Sabrina:" Like what?" Linus" Like a LIFE."
Linus" I need her and I don't need anything."
Favorite Scenes: Sabrina in the tree branch, Sabrina dressed to kill after a long plane trip from France (I can guarantee that is only in the movies, nobody looks like that after that kind of a trip). Sabrina and Linus biking in Martha's Vineyard.
I recommend this movie and it was a special treat to watch it with new eyes.
