6. Sabrina (1995) This remake of the 1954 classic stars Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond . Like the first one, it's also filmed in Glen Cove mansions. PG (longisland.about.com....dfilms.htm)

In 1953, Ross made her big-screen debut in "Forever Female," where sheappeared with Ginger Rogers . A steady stream of film work followed,including parts in "The Glenn Miller Story" (1954), "Sabrina " (1954),and "Operation Petticoat " (1959). But she was not destined forbig-screen success; television would prove to be her medium (www.smig.net....onross.htm)

She gives an insider 's look at the world-famous culinary school, which stands in stark contrast to the charming experience of Audrey Hepburn 's character in the 1954 movie "Sabrina ." In Flinn's version, students get covered in fish guts, hoard the freshest ingredients, and are expected to master several recipes each day working at small cooking stations.

My love affair with this unique venue started, as most good things do, on a whim. I was taking a stroll down University, having just left campus on a Saturday afternoon around 3:30. Upon seeing a line outside the theater, my eyes looked up to find Dail "M" for Murder (1954) and Sabrina (1954) on the marquee. Having never seen either, but a fan of both Hitchcock and Hepburn, and with no plans for the evening, I decided to seize the opportunity and duck in for an old film. Much to my (unemployed) pleasure, I immediately found out on of the theater's greatest attributes: it's affordable! With a $7 ticket granting admission to both films and cheap concessions (popcorn, a drink, and candy all for under $5), this is easily the cheapest romantic date around (and about the only affordable thing to do on University!)

Her love of movies came early, while a student at a Chicago high school for gifted students, when she attended regular double bills of films that included 1954's "Sabrina " and 1959's "Imitation of Life ." Initially, she thought she'd be an actress, and after earning a degree at Northwestern University, she and her first husband - she was married at age 20 - headed west.

The daughter of an English banker and a Dutch baroness, she and her mother lived in the Netherlands during the Nazi occupation. Moving to London , she studied ballet and acting, modeled, danced, and played bit parts before being cast in the title role in the Broadway production of Gigi (1951). Thereafter, except for one other stage role Ondine, 1954, Tony Award), she worked exclusively in films. Hepburn's luminous beauty, elfin slimness, unplaceably patrician accent, and blend of wistful simplicity and worldly chic are particularly evident in such roles as the young princess in Roman Holiday (1953; Academy Award), her first star turn; the chauffeur's daughter in Sabrina (1954); clerk turned model in Funny Face (1957), and the fabulous Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany 's (1961). She was a major star of the 1950s and 60s, playing opposite many of the era's leading men.

Trivia: William Holden refused to do the dance sequence unless he was given an $8,000 "stuntman premium" and was allowed to do the scene while under the influence of alcohol. He didn't believe the studio would do either, but they wound up allowing both. In that scene he is actually intoxicated, and it still remains one of only two movies that he ever danced in (the other being Sabrina (1954)), and one of the most memorable scenes in the movie. more (us.imdb.com/title/tt0048491/)

From this success Bogart went on to compile an impressive list of screen credits. Few actors can match his track record for quality films: To Have and Have Not (1944), The Big Sleep (1946), The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948), Key Largo (1948), In a Lonely Place (1950), The African Queen (1951; Academy Award for best actor), Sabrina (1954), and The Caine Mutiny (1954) are all regarded as screen classics. He seldom appeared in a truly bad picture, and his legend helped such minor films as Sahara (1943), Passage to Marseilles (1944), Dark Passage (1947), Beat the Devil (1953), and The Barefoot Contessa (1954) to achieve cult status (www.britannica.com....le-9080397)

She was responsible for such classic bits of costumery as Mae West 's ostrich feathers, Dorothy Lamour 's sarongs, and Audrey Hepburn 's Sabrina necklines. (www.encyclopedia.com....d-Edi.html)

On the Waterfront deservedly won the Oscar for best picture for 1954, something made even easier when you consider its competition: the good movie The Caine Mutiny along with The Country Girl, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and the film I've chosen to discuss today, the beautiful but empty travelogue that is Three Coins in the Fountain. Here are just a few of the titles that DID NOT get nominated for best picture in 1954: It Could Happen to You, Johnny Guitar , Sabrina , A Star Is Born , Suddenly , White Christmas and, towering above all the films that could have been nominated for best picture and wasn't â Rear Window . Still, it feels a little unfair to beat up on Three Coins in the Fountain for being listed, however undeservedly, as a best picture nominee because it certainly is a gorgeous film to look at in its early use of Technicolor and CinemaScope to paint a great travelogue of Italy in the 1950s. Too bad it hadn't been a silent movie . Then again, you'd have missed some of the quips from Clifton Web (eddieonfilm.blogspot.com....chive.html)
