Sabrina (1995)

This is the movie that the critics point to and say "It was a flop. Julia Ormond is no Audrey Hepburn." This really pisses me off because if you read the interviews at the time everyone involved is saying that they cast Julia because they didn't want a "new" Audrey Hepburn!

But no-one listened so we a lumbered with these half-witted comments about Julia trying to play the Audrey Hepburn part.

The part was called "Sabrina"!

Apart from that the movie is fine. It's funny and the cast is good. What more could you want from a harmless fluffy comedy. It's worth watching the next time it's on. Ah, but you already knew that.

For the record, when this movie was released in the UK right at the start of 1996 two pictures in that month's Empire magazine made me realise who my favorite actress was. And I hadn't even seen any of the movies yet. Awwww! here are the pictures in question:
