Sabrina is the lighthearted romantic comedy starring Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and William Holden in the story of the Larrabee brothers (Bogart and Holden) rivaling for the chauffeur's daughter's (Hepburn) affections. One of the finest modern Cinderella stories of all time which changes Sabrina into a worldly and sophisticated woman, Linus (Bogart) out of a workaholic, and David (Holden) into a responsible man.
