Sabrina
This fantastic romantic comedy tells the tale of a chauffer's daughter who falls in love with the younger playboy son of her father's employer.The daughter, Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn), goes off to cooking school in Europe and returns "all grown up". The younger brother, David (William Holden), then becomes quite interested in her but he is slated to marry into a into a family whose father owns a large sugar cane company. To save the deal, Linus (Humphrey Bogart), the much older and serious brother who is a financial wizard with a keen sense of business, tries to stop David's romance with Sabrina by wooing her himself. Which brother will Sabrina end up with?

One great scene takes place when the fun-loving David asks the insightful and entrepreneurial Linus what good it is to have found a way to make a new type of plastic out of sugar cane. Linus gives a wonderful speech emphasizing the benefits that new products provide to consumers all over the world. Linus realizes that he can earn profits by providing products that will enhance people's lives.

A great supporting cast adds to effectiveness of this classic film. There is plenty of chemistry between all of the main and supporting players.

This film transcends the years and is one of the best ever of its genre!
