As the critics of the time remarked, Bogart and Holden were a bit too old to be playing opposite Hepburn. Altough each was entertaining, it really didn't fit, and the result was only cute rather than good. But, the remake was among the most polished works of art that I have ever seen arise from the film industry. From the light touch of the entry music to the bombastic climax in which they prove that "he loves her," every scene has the right background, the right attire, the right attitude, and the perfect fit into a portrait that belongs in The Louvre of film. In this version, Sabrina becomes Sabrina Fair. The interplay between the characters is so subtle that clever lines seem appropriate, as though all conversation was so brilliant and interesting. Ormond steals the movie, but only because she is the centerpiece of the portrait. She is, as Miriam Colon remarks, a princess, and she is displayed as such throughout the post-Paris part of her existence. The interplay between Ormond and Ford works because it is carefully brushed with gentle touches. Unlike the Holden character, Kinnear's character is real and sympathetic. Every member of the cast performs brilliantly, and you celebrate in the success of character actors in pulling off their roles so well. Just sit back and relax and let Wilder take you on a delightful ride that will be among the most enjoyable you have ever had. Listen to the music. Watch the details of every scene. You will still enjoy it after seven or eight trips, and you will want to keep it nearby to provide a few minutes pleasure on a stressful day.

I have to say that I have never watched Sabrina(1954) before which was played by Audrey Hepburn. This movie is not a simple remaking. The things around Sabrina were totally different from the last one, though what happened to Sabrina was not change. When I first finished this movie, I only focused on her stories. But I have a every strange habit which is that I like watching movies repeatedly. So when I started to watch it twice, I noticed that the director of this movie is Sydney Pollack who is the father of Out of Africa. His movies had always been known for their social and political issues. His movies always meant something.So I watched Sabrina(1995) with objective view. I found my attention was changed. What happened to Linus caught my eyes. If the change of Sabrina is to give the audience a visual enjoyment and a hope for a better love. Linus is a vivid reflection of the life of the people of that time in 90s, which almost everyone was eager for the success of the cause, as well as the possession of money and power. Linus, who graduated from Yale University at the age of 19, had managed his family's empire, who enlarged his family property from billions of dollars to astronomical figures and also on the cover of Time. Gradually, He lost himself in business, money, and power. He had a sad and lonely soul and the only thing in his eye was working, which made everyone afraid of him.However, in Masa, when he tried to keep Sabrina away from David, he found that there was something else in his heart. He told truth to Sabrina. He truly loved Sabrina, but for his family's empire, he must lay to her that he didn't. Linus had always followed the orders by his mother all his life. He wanted to change. And only Sabrina could save him, because she knew him better than anyone else. Sabrina found herself in Paris, and Linus found himself in Sabrina. At first, Linus though what he needed was the success of the cause, but in fact, he needed love, no one can tell a lie in front of their own sincerity, even he was a good negotiator. Sabrina(1995) makes us believe that, whether you are rich or poor, everyone is equal in love, and you will find the one who understands you, saves you and brings you happy.

Released in 1995, "Sabrina" stars Julia Ormond as an 'ugly duckling' daughter of a chauffeur for a rich Long Island family. After blossoming in Paris for two years, she returns wherein the handsome playboy of the family finally takes notice (Greg Kinnear), but so does the all-business-minded son (Harrison Ford), which creates havoc. Nancy Marchand, John Wood, Richard Crenna, Angie Dickinson and Lauren Holly have support roles.The first 50-55 minutes are compelling and amusing drama, but when the story takes a surprising turn in the second act it bogs down with slow-moving and uninteresting romancing. Despite this, there's certainly enough good to glean here to make it worthwhile. Romance-lovers will obviously find more to cherish.The film runs 127 minutes and was shot at Salutation House, West Island, Glen Cove, Long Island, New York, and Manhattan, as well as Martha's Vineyard.GRADE: C+ (5.5/10)

Sabrina Fairchild (Julia Ormond) grew up as the mousy daughter of the chauffeur (John Wood) of the wealthy Larrabee family on the north shore of Long Island. It was a grand estate and she would spy on their grand parties from a tree. Maude Larrabee (Nancy Marchand) inherited the Larrabee Corporation from her dead husband. Cold-hearted Linus Larrabee (Harrison Ford) took the company to even greater heights. David (Greg Kinnear) is the playboy son who Sabrina is completely infatuated with. She goes off to Paris to work on Vogue as a lowly assistant. She slowly moves away from her David infatuation to a love affair with a photographer. Meanwhile David is falling for Elizabeth Tyson (Lauren Holly) whose family business Linus wants to merge with. Elizabeth wants to marry David but he is reluctant to let go of his playboy lifestyle. Sabrina comes home and David doesn't recognize her at first. David becomes infatuated threatening to derail the marriage plans and Linus' big business deal.The movie is asking too much of Julia Ormond. She looks too old to play a teenager. She is also too young to play the love interest for Harrison Ford. Their chemistry is way too cold. That is the biggest missing element. Greg Kinnear actually has better chemistry. They could have worked together in a romance. Harrison Ford is not good in this role. In fact, I have difficulty pointing to any good romantic leading roles for him that actually worked without an action thriller. However, the movie has the solid foundations of the '54 film. That much is there. It has some great scenes. It seems to always work when Julia Ormond gets emotionally walloped. She's possibly the best part of the movie. Ford just doesn't have that extra gear to be the sensitive romantic lead when the movie calls for it.
