Sabrina
In honor of Valentine's Day, I'm going to review this classic romantic movie. I've seen it three times, and I still love it. Really, it's no surprise with such an amazing cast: Humphrey Bogart - Audrey Hepburn - William Holden. There's just one scene in the first part of the film that I didn't like. A certain person (I won't say which one) makes a half-hearted attempt to kill themself, for a very stupid reason. Even though that scene was a little annoying, it's an important part of the story, and it'll make more sense at the end of the movie.

Sabrina Fairchild (Hepburn) is the young daughter of the Larrabee family's chauffeur, Thomas (John Williams), and has been in love with David Larrabee (Holden) all her life. David is an oft-married, idle playboy, crazy for women, who has never noticed Sabrina. After Sabrina attends a culinary school in Paris, she returns a very attractive and sophisticated woman, and David is quickly drawn to her. David's workaholic older brother Linus (Bogart) sees this and fears that David's imminent wedding with a very rich woman may be endangered. If the wedding were to be canceled, so would a great corporate deal with the bride's family. So Linus tries to redirect Sabrina's affections to himself...

Agh, this is annoying. The story line is SO familar but I can't remember if I saw this movie or some of the movie or what...is there another movie with a similar storyline?
There is a remake of this movie with Harrison Ford, and Julia Ormond... maybe you saw it?
