I never got a chance to see it but remember it didn't do very well...either in reviews or at the box office.

Harrison Ford seemed a great choice for the part of Linus (originally played by Bogie); even Greg Kinear was probably ok as David. BUT...I think they would've needed a MUCH bigger (and brighter) star than Julia Ormond to carry off the Sabrina part.

Who? I don't really know (Sofia Coppola maybe...???).

I mostly remember Julia Ormond in 'Legends of the Fall'. Her performance was very nice, she was lovely and graceful but in general I think rather dull; at least too dull to play Sabrina.

This was just on tv the other night...Audrey Hephurn is Star of the Month on TCM. I have to admit that for a Billy Wilder film, parts of it do lag just a bit. Overall though, I've always thought it a rather delightful movie.
And even though it's true he may have been just a tad old for the part, Bogie in my opinion was adorable as Linus.
