Hard as it may seem to believe, Audrey Hepburn is virtually ignored by the men folk at the beginning of "Sabrina Fair". Top of the list is William Holden, whom Hepburn pines for. But it isn't until a Cinderella-style transformation that she finally catches his eye in this superb romantic comedy.
Holden is the irresponsible playboy of the fabulously wealthy Larrabee family that lives on a sprawling Long Island estate. Hepburn's father is the chauffeur of the family and is careful to remind her of her place in the great scheme of things. But a two-year stint of schooling in Paris returns a Hepburn of stunning elegance and poise. And it isn't long before Holden is madly in love with her.
Naturally there are some stumbling blocks. Namely, that Holden is engaged to the daughter of a sugar magnate who is to do an important deal with the Larrabee Corporation. Holden's brother (Bogart) has engineered these nuptials of finance and convenience. Realising that Hepburn is the spanner in his money-making machine, Bogey decides to dupe her into falling for him so that he can ship her back to Paris.
It's complicated to the point of being silly. Indeed this is a movie that disposes of characters like Holden and his fiancée for yawning periods of time, and introduces ridiculous dramatics like Hepburn's suicide bid. But there is a fuzzy fairytale logic to this film that director Billy Wilder converts into abundant charm and humour. This, he uses in great quantities to happily paper over any of the questionable plot developments.
