Scene Photo Sabrina
Billy Wilder, USA, 1954, 113m
“Humphrey Bogart and William Holden star as brothers vying for Audrey Hepburn’s hand. That sentence alone should get you into the theater.” –Time Out New York

The third Wilder/Holden collaboration was this adaptation of Samuel Taylor’s Sabrina Fair, with Audrey Hepburn as the titular chauffeur’s daughter who is sent to Paris to become a lady. She returns to romance with the Larrabee brothers, played by Holden and Humphrey Bogart. The tone of this romantic comedy classic is more sweet than bitter, and often close to incandescent. If Sabrina belongs to Hepburn and Bogart, Holden’s blithely superficial millionaire playboy is one of the brightest stars in its comic firmament –– with his dyed blond hair and lighthearted manner, he lights up the screen whenever he appears. With John Williams in a very touching performance as Sabrina’s father.

Billy Wilder, USA, 1953, 120m

“What makes Holden’s performance so pleasing is his refusal to soften the character’s hard-boiled cynicism.” – Jim Ridley, The Village Voice

“One of the best of its kind, thanks mostly to a memorably sullen performance by Holden (who won an Oscar)” - Time Out New York

"An exuberant black comedy… Unlike anything Holden’s ever done before." - Elliott Stein, The Village Voice

Holden’s second film with Wilder is this rich, beautifully constructed P.O.W. story, which confidently walks a fine line between comedy and suspense (it became the basis for the long - running TV sitcom Hogan’s Heroes, starring the ill-fated Bob Crane). Sefton (Holden) is the camp cynic, always ready to make a buck off his fellow prisoners and refusing to take part in anything that would put himself in danger. When he is suspected of being a traitor, he gets busy trying to find the real culprit. Who but Holden could have pulled off this complex role? Who else could have endowed Sefton with such abrasive wit and charm? He won a well-deserved Oscar for Best Actor, and this is one of his defining roles. With Wilder’s pal Otto Preminger as the camp commandant, Colonel von Scherbach.
