Sabrina — 4K 06/24/25

This gem is too charming to ever become old or creaky; a new viewing confirms it as a pleasing confection for Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart, a fairy tale with a slightly caustic edge. Filmmaker Billy Wilder caught a lot of flak for ‘brutalizing’ his actresses, when he’s really a romantic softie … with a telling sour note here and there. Along with the music, the storytelling hails from 1930, with Hepburn’s elegant French fashions bringing us back to 1954. Big star William Holden plays comic support in gratitude for director Wilder’s career support earlier on. The 4K remaster brings out the elegance in this May-December romance … or is it more of a May-October fling?  On 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray from KL Studio Classics.
