Billy Wilder directs the lighthearted
romantic comedy Sabrina, based on the play by
Samuel A. Taylor.
Sabrina Fairchild (
Audrey Hepburn) is the simple, naïve daughter of a chauffeur,
Thomas Fairchild (
John Williams). They live on an estate with the wealthy
Oliver Larrabee (
Walter Hampden) and his two sons: workaholic older brother
Linus (
Humphrey Bogart) and fun-loving younger brother
David (
William Holden).
Sabrina adores the charming
David, but he thinks of her as just a kid. Her father sends her away to Paris for chef school, where she meets
Baron St. Fontanel (
Marcel Dalio), and she returns a worldly, sophisticated woman.
David immediately falls for her, but he is already engaged to marry heiress
Elizabeth Tyson (
Martha Hyer).
Sabrina wants to break up the wedding in order to finally catch the man of her dreams, while
Linus fights to keep the marriage on in the interest of family business and
Mr. Tyson's (
Francis X. Bushman) fortune. In order to keep
Sabrina away from
David,
Linus pretends to court her himself. In doing so, they eventually realize their true feelings for each another.
