Audrey Hepburn is forced to overdo her gamine charm in this horrible concoction about a Cinderella among the Long Island rich.

Sabrina is not the type of comedy calculated to send anyone rolling into the aisles, but it is a bright, polished piece which imparts a warm glow of humor.

Mr. Wilder, as a rule, specializes in the most caustic screen commentaries on our life and times: here he shows that he can excel, too, in that lush, whimsical, fairy-tale kind of comedy.

A number of factors besides the acting make Sabrina a top comedy, the direction by Billy Wilder... The sets are lavish and beautiful.

| Mar 28, 2024

A gay and beguiling movie hit -- with top-notch stars and incomparable direction and production talent.

The film is a simplification of the play now running in London's West End and, I should say, an improvement.

A simple Cinderella story set in ritzy Long Island society, it has pleasant, at times agreeably witty, dialogue and proves to be an enjoyable matinée entertainment.

Filmed under the auspices of Billy Wilder, its title has been shortened to Sabrina, its amusing dialogue has been jettisoned in favor of dubious sight gags, and it moves all over the place without getting much of anywhere.

It may bear little relationship to life, but it is a handsomely-mounted movie, and it is played with downright distinction.

| Mar 28, 2024

It is witty, gay, romantic and ironic.

| Mar 28, 2024

The Cinderella tradition is safe in producer-director-writer Wilder's keeping, thanks to the unique and graceful charm of little Audrey.

| Mar 28, 2024

It's a slender little bit, all right, but it comes out as one of the most diverting things you've seen all season. An appealing hit.

The film, however, really belongs to Miss Hepburn, and at no point does she let the authors down.

From first to last shot, you are either laughing out loud, quietly enjoying yourself or trying to control the lump that has crept into your throat. And he [Wilder] does it without ever being terribly serious.

For Sabrina, a story about a chauffeur's daughter who captures the hearts of her father's employer's offspring, makes a delightful film script. Fine direction, good production and a remarkable cast do the rest.

For once, the big budget brought to bear on a successful one-set Broadway comedy of last season has paid dividends in delightful nonsense.

Audrey Hepburn makes a perfect Sabrina, and Humphrey Bogart -- looking, it is true, rather old for a romantic role -- demonstrates a nice light touch for comedy.

| Mar 28, 2024

Sabrina has undergone a lot of changes since Miss Sullavan, in the company of Joe Cotten, first brought her to Broadway last fall. Most of them, we happen to think, are all for the best.

| Mar 28, 2024

The whole picture is full of fresh situations and original humor.

| Mar 28, 2024

There is a wealth of sharp comedy lines, and the poor-girl-wins-rich boy theme makes for a light, entertaining movie.
