Sabrina

I wasn't aware that i had put this on the list but I am not complaining. Jojo lent it to me and as with all Audrey Hepburn films, it was wonderful. My uneventful day turned into a lovely, relaxing evening by watching Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart star in this black and white classic romance film.

Featuring the song La Vie En Rose and sung beautifully by Hepburn, the somewhat relief of being able to watch an old film that wasn't a musical is fantastic. Her voice is beautiful, there should be no doubt about it but I think that she has proved that she can be out powered when singing with others.

Bogart and William Holden are both older men in this story and Hepburn is the daughter of the Chauffeur that has been in love with Holden since forever. After spending a few years in Paris she comes back to America as a lady and both brothers fall in love with her.

There are some comical moments involving champagne glasses and some lovely moments involving cooking but most of all this is a feel good, classic romance film that has everything in it. I am quickly becoming a Audrey Hepburn fan.
