I find Audrey Hepburn convincing in her role as the beautiful, charming Sabrina. However, I was less interested in the two brothers and the business matters that concern them. I think Sabrina is a nice character and I find the story quite entertaining, I like the acting, but I can't say much more than that. A 6. 3*

Since I want to watch everything from Wilder little by little, Sabrina couldn't stay behind too long, it had been on my "to watch" list for some time.
Billy Wilder again succeeds in creating a wonderful atmosphere, but it can also be said that the main film location is already beautiful and atmospheric in itself.
It's also amazing that Bogart & Hepburn apparently didn't get along, Bogart even thought she couldn't act because the scenes had to be done a lot already. Nonsense of course if you know her work a bit, Monroe is seen as one of the greatest and even had to repeat simple scenes indefinitely because she kept turning certain words around.
Yet these 2 greats have a wonderful chemistry together on camera, even though Bogart is more than twice the age of Hepburn, in the film it still comes across as realistic. 
(And also nice to see Bogart in a different kind of role!)
Funny detail is the English version of the banana song, here mainly known for carnival and clearly not a Dutch song 
Learned something again!
Maybe not the best but also far from the least Wilder (I have yet to discover a "bad" movie from this man and I probably won't come across anything less than a pass. )
Atmospheric classic!
3.5*
