Sabrina (1954) Linus and David Larrabee are the two sons of a very wealthy family. Linus
is all work -- busily running the family corporate empire, he has no time
for a wife and family. David is all play -- technically he is employed by
the family business, but never shows up for work, spends all his time
entertaining, and has been married and divorced three times. Meanwhile,
Sabrina Fairchild is the young, shy, and awkward daughter of the household
chauffeur, who has been infatuated with David all her life, but David
hardly notices her -- "doesn't even know I exist" -- until she goes away to
Paris for two years, and returns an elegant, sophisticated, beautiful
woman. Suddenly, she finds that she has captured David's attention, but
just as she does so, she finds herself falling in love with Linus, and she
finds that Linus is also falling in love with her. Sabrina is the young daughter of the Larrabee family's chauffeur who has
been in love with David Larrabee for all her life. David is very spoiled
and crazy for women, and has been totally ignoring Sabrina for years. When
Sabrina goes to Paris for a few years, she returns a very attractive and
sophisticated woman, and David is quickly drawn to her. David's brother
Linus sees this and fears that David's imminent wedding with a very rich
woman may be endangered. If the wedding is canceled, so will a great
corporate deal with the bride's family. So, Linus tries to keep Sabrina off
his brother, and the best way to do so is by charming her himself. |
