Commentary
The old versus the new is one of the longstanding battles of film lovers. When a beloved movie is remade, arguments inevitably arise over which version is better. While some will love the new innovations of the latest creation, others will insist that the original can’t be beat.
One example of a classic movie with a noteworthy remake is “Sabrina” from 1954, which was famously remade in 1995.
The original movie, which was written and directed by Billy Wilder, starred fashion icon Audrey Hepburn as the title character, with Hollywood legends Humphrey Bogart and William Holden as her two leading men. It was a huge commercial and critical success, winning an Academy Award and a Golden Globe, plus earning numerous major nominations.
