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

| Mar 28, 2024

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.

| Mar 28, 2024

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.

| 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.

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

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

If the romantic comedy lacks the sparkle and merriment of its model, the omission cannot be held against Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn and William Holden.

| Mar 27, 2024

When Miss Hepburn moves on to her romantic and delicate comedy scenes with the playboy, Mr. Holden, and the austere business man-brother, Mr. Bogart, the old Hepburn magic flashes out and again Sabrina becomes a joyous comedy.

| Mar 27, 2024

The result, as might be expected, is disappointment and disbelief.

| Mar 27, 2024

Sabrina is just a little old black and white, standard screen ratio movie -- just touched with magic, is all.

| Mar 27, 2024

The film has whimsical moments, but the treatment is a little heavy for such light material.

| Mar 27, 2024

Pleasant light entertainment.

Miss Hepburn delights by making Sabrina a creature of moods, a girl who generously responds to growth and change.

| Jun 23, 2021

The upper-crust comic romance often gets just the measures of erotic delight and bubbly champagne fizz it needs.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 13, 2021

Constantly through the cleverness of individual situations Sabrina seems to override what is wrong with its plot and even its motivation.

| Apr 29, 2019

This is never less than glittering entertainment, but somehow a certain measure of lead has found its way into the formula.

| Feb 3, 2009

In Sabrina, Hepburn gets to play the fairy tale the traditional way, and, despite its complications, the story ends the way fairy tales are meant to.

| Original Score: A- | Oct 29, 2008

Script is long on glibly quipping dialog, dropped with a seemingly casual air, and broadly played situations. The splendid trouping delivers them style. Leavening the chuckles are tugs at the heart.

| Oct 18, 2008

Wilder's tastelessness now seems his major artistic strength.
