Movie Review: SABRINA, 1954. Directed by Billy Wilder

The story of Cinderella is not new. It has been told and retold in books, movies, plays and whatever other forms a story can be told in. It has been modernized at times, but the story is essentially the same. A girl who doesn’t belong at the ball is able to win over the handsome prince. In 1954 Billy Wilder made Sabrina, another one of the Cinderella movies, except this time the girl doesn’t fall for Prince Charming. Instead she falls for his brother.
