  • Sabrina -- Flat-footed romantic comedy in which a chauffeur's daughter (Audrey Hepburn) is wooed by his employer's playboy son (William Holden) but his staid older brother (miscast Humphrey Bogart) intervenes to save a business deal from souring if they wed by pretending to woo her himself. Directed by Billy Wilder, the situation provides some droll moments but the slow-paced plot is more cynical than amusing and the motivations of the central character are less than credible. Light treatment of marriage and failed suicide attempt. (A-III) (br) ( 1954 )




    These movies have been evaluated for artistic merit and moral suitability by the media reviewing division of Catholic News Service. The reviews include the CNS rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.

    The classifications are as follows:

    A-I -- general patronage;
    A-II -- adults and adolescents;
    A-III -- adults;
    L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
    O -- morally offensive.

    Note: Some movies previously were designated A-IV. Older films with this classification should be regarded as classified L.
