The charming Cinderella story of two rich brothers and the chauffeur’s daughter Sabrina. Bogart is all work and Holden is all play, but when Sabrina (Hepburn) returns from Paris all grown up and glamorous, both fall under her spell. Audrey Hepburn is especially lovely in her second movie role. Edith Head received an Oscar for costume design, but it was designer Hubert de Givenchy who gave Hepburn her famous look.
