Terribly sorry for the 2 people who read my blog - I've been traveling and visiting family, so I had no time to add some posts! The next film I'm reviewing is one that is very dear to me. I just watched it yesterday with my mom and remembered how much I love it and that it's one of the films I can recite by heart. 
Sabrina, starring Audrey Hepburn,
William Holden, and Humphrey Bogart, tells the story of a chauffeur's daughter who goes to Paris for cooking school and comes back home as a sophisticated woman. Though Audrey Hepburn's acting is definitely not the best and can be a bit annoying, she is nevertheless charming in this Billy Wilder film. I remember reading that Humphrey Bogart really disliked Hepburn because he wanted his wife (Lauren Bacall) to have the lead role. On the other hand, William Holden fell in love with her on set and they were planning a future together until Hepburn realized that Holden could not have anymore children.
So, back to the film..... this is a lovely, light-hearted story with amazing fashion by Hubert Givenchy, even though Edith Head received most of the credit. And the only thing that bothers me is that the characters of Hepburn and Bogart are trying to convince the audience that they are falling in love and that a 30 year age difference is not unusual.
Despite the fact that Hepburn could be Bogart's daughter, I feel that this is one of Hepburn's best films. This is her second American film, after Roman
Holiday. I recommend this playful, romantic film to everyone. It's definitely a film to watch during those hot summer nights that are not too far away.
Ciao!
