Audrey Hepburn, Sabrina (1954) starring Humphrey Bogart and William Holden

Sabrina is a 1954 American romantic comedy film directed by Billy Wilder, adapted for the screen by Samuel A. Taylor and Ernest Lehman from Taylor’s play Sabrina Fair. Sabrina Fairchild is the young daughter of the Larrabee family’s chauffeur, Thomas, and has been in love with David Larrabee all her life. David is an oft-married, idle playboy, crazy for women, who has never noticed Sabrina, much to her and the staff’s dismay. Sabrina then attends culinary school in Paris and returns as an attractive and sophisticated woman. David, after initially not recognizing her, is quickly drawn to her. David’s workaholic older brother Linus sees this and fears that David’s imminent wedding with a very wealthy woman, Elizabeth Tyson, 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, and in the process falls in love with her…

Cary Grant was initially considered for the role of Linus but declined the offer.
