Summary Sabrina (1954 film)Sabrina is a 1954 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Billy Wilder. The picture stars Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn and William Holden. The film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 2002. 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 a three-times-married playboy who has never paid attention to Sabrina because to him she was still a child. During production of the film, HepBurn and Holden entered into a brief but passionate and much-publicized love affair.

Although Hepburn won an Oscar for Best Costumes, most of Hepburn’s outfits are rumored to have been created by Hubert de Givenchy and personally chosen by the star. The movie was Wilder’s last film released by Paramount Pictures, ending a 12-year business relationship between Wilder and the company. Wilder began shooting before the script was finished, writing all day, and filming of it would begin in the afternoon. In 1974, Givenchy claimed that she was responsible for creating the dresses, with inspiration from some Givenchy designs that Hepburn liked, but that she made changes and the dresses were not important.
