Sabrina (1954)

I'm about to watch this. It has Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. I don't expect much.

It's a good microcosm of Hepburn's talent. Her haircut in the film was widely copied as well.

Well then.

I must not be into love stories or something because this didn't do much for me at all. I actually think I liked Roman Holiday better than this one.

Hepburn did a pretty good job, but like Roman Holiday, I didn't really get too into the love story. The American Film Institute says she's the 3rd greatest actress of all-time but I'm having a difficult time seeing that after these two films. Did she ever do anything but love stories? Her most famous roll is perhaps Breakfast at Tiffany's, but from what I understand that, too is a love story.

Humphrey Bogart, who was outstanding in The Maltese Falcon and The African Queen, wasn't bad in this one but his performance was far less memorable than in the other two films.

This movie was watchable, but not something I plan on seeing again.

65/100

UP NEXT: The Man Who Knew Too Much (original version) - tonight on Turner Classic Movies.

A Nun's Story was a dramatic role for her...it profiles a nun as she enters and leaves the convent. Hepburn plays Sister Luke. She doesn't fall in love with a man and leave... she just decides it's not for her.

What about Charade? That has Cary Grant who is good (at least from what I've seen in North by Northwest) and Walter Matthau. Wikipedia says it's romance, comedy, and suspense thriller. It has an 8.0/10 on the IMDB.

ha! now that one I haven't seen!
