David is an oft-married, idle playboy, crazy for women, who has never noticed Sabrina, much to her and the staff’s dismay. Sabrina then attends culinary school in Paris and returns as an attractive and sophisticated woman. David, after initially not recognizing her, is quickly drawn to her. David’s workaholic older brother Linus (Bogart) sees this and fears that David’s imminent wedding with a very rich woman may be endangered. If the wedding were to be canceled, so would a great corporate deal with the bride’s family. So Linus tries to redirect Sabrina’s affections, and in the process falls in love with her.

The ending contains Sabrina leaving for Paris on a boat, after Linus has told her to leave and never come back. In a board meeting, realizing his mistake, he manages to get on the boat, and they sail away together to Paris. Read more
