Sabrina

Hello! My movie selection for this week is Sabrina. This film was released in 1954 starring the lovely Audrey Hepburn.  When I am feeling under the weather (and also when the weather is gloomy like it has been here for a few days now) I like to watch movies that comfort me.  Sabrina was always a movie that has comforted me in a few ways.  One reason is because it's an ugly duckling story, I was a super late bloomer so I relate to Audrey's character in that way. (even though Audrey is so beautiful always...but maybe that's the point we're all beautiful always) Secondly, Sabrina escapes to Europe (Paris, France) to grow up and get away from her life.  I too escaped to Europe for a time in college, where I grew up and visited Paris, where I left my heart so I could go back one day to retrieve it....sneaky sneaky :) And thirdly, because it has an un-expected love story...and that's how it is, you rarely end up with the person you'd pictured in your mind.  I could watch this movie over and over again! Enjoy!
