**An excellent romantic comedy and one of Billy Wilder's best works.** I saw this film yesterday and I really liked it. I have seen other films with the same actors and there is no doubt that they ooze talent, and it is always a safe bet to see the films they made. This romantic comedy, unlike many of those currently produced, does not seem bland or excessively sugary: the romance and comedy intertwine in the ideal measure to make us laugh and enjoy the characters and the story. Directed and intelligently written by Billy Wilder, who gives us one of the best films of his career, it brings us the classic story of the employee's daughter who falls in love with the boss's son.

"David" is having none of this, but after he has an untimely accident involving his backside and some broken glass, "Linus" concocts a plan to send "Sabrina" back to France. This erstwhile steely man does not, however, factor in the effect his hanging out with this vibrant and intelligent young woman is going to have on him - and pretty soon he is just as smitten as his brother!
