Girls, who you would have chosen?


Between Bogart's character or Holden's character, not the actor but character?

I would say all the same William's character ;) cuz he's more gentleman, more confident and more elegant. Was it William Holden???

I'd have picked Bogart as he & I are in

I would have picked William Holden.

William. definetly.

reply

Neither, but I guess if I had to choose it would be Holden. Never Bogie. From what I've read he was a rat bastard to Audrey on set, and for that I will never forgive him.

whoa! william holden...mmm...

I guess I would have gone with Linus. David was too playboyish for me. I guess I just like the business man type. Plus I kind of have a thing for older guys.

Oh... they are just my own feelings on the movie. They're of course not from anything official.

Strongly suggested just now by the host on TCM. Bogart wanted Bacall as Sabrina. I love both of them, but really, Lauren as Sabrina? No.

reply

To be fair, Bogart was not a well man at the time. The script wasn't finished at the time and so Billy Wilder supposedly enlisted Audrey's help by pretending to be sick or intentionally messing up the takes to buy time to complete the script.

Also, he felt alienated from an otherwise close-knit cast and he was gypped out of working with the one person who could've helped make the experience more pleasant (he wanted Lauren Bacall as Sabrina). This could've have been pleasant for a man who was already having his share of problems before production began.

If I was Bogart, I would probably have been very irritated as well. To his credit though, he did admit he was wrong about his behaviour and apologized for it. Too bad people, including William Holden, just can't seem to let it go.

Hmmm - the choice between a workaholic or a playboy? Neither! I'd keep looking!

reply

I'd go with Linus. (Hey, remember, this is between the characters not the actors, chucklebutt)

Linus, not particularly into playboys

Linus. I despise playboys, and though I myself am not a workaholic, but I'm very devoted in my work, and thus I understand the lonliness Linus goes through when he works. Plus I like older guys.

Linus (Bogart) definitely. Hot hot hot. He and Audrey Hepburn are actually my favorite on screen couple.

reply

Why would you want to date a playboy???!!!!

reply

Linus without hesitating for a moment. Watch his face during the scenes when he dances with Sabrina substituting for David at the tennis court, riding in the car with Sabrina while she fixes his homburg and sings "La Vie en Rose" to him or lastly, when they are up in the Larrabee building office and she confides to him how she will miss him when he sails on the noon boat to Paris. True love is there no matter what the circumstances were that brought them together. Heck, it might even have been there when Linus assists Sabrina from the garage after starting eight cars in a closed environment, when one car would have accomplished the same thing.

His look is very reminiscent (or because of the timeline in which this films were produced and released) of Gary Cooper's look just before he leaves the hotel room with Ariane (Audrey Hepburn, again) in "Love in the Afternoon" - regrets, he had a few....

It's that Wilder touch!!
