Sabina's father was the driver of the Leribi family. The Larrybi family has two sons. The eldest son, Ryans, is a manager of a company. He is usually serious and unsmiling. The second son, David, is romantic and unrestrained. Sabina has a crush on David since he was a child. Date with girlfriend. Although David is a playboy and has seen countless women, she has never been interested in Sabina, the "slave". This disappointed Sabina, and even tried to kill herself with car exhaust, only to be found by Ryans in time - but it probably won't poison her. Sabina was so crazy about David that her father saw that his daughter could not go on like this, so he sent her to a culinary school in Paris, France to learn cooking.
During her two years at school, Sabina gradually forgot about David. By the time she returned home, she was no longer the local girl she used to be, but a personable beauty. Her first windfall was David's favor. When David was driving on the road, he caught a glimpse of the beautiful woman on the side of the road, but he hadn't recognized that it was Sabina back then. After this conversation, David began to pursue Sabina enthusiastically. Of course, this is exactly what Sabina, who originally liked David, meant, so the two fell in love and began to fall in love. As the saying goes: A good horse does not eat grass. David, the romantic guy, is willing to turn around and chase after Sabina, and it is definitely not for nothing. Sabina was also carried away by this sudden affair, so she would like to be a "bad horse". Will this relationship last forever?
Don't look at the eldest brother Reines' usually silent, but at the critical moment, he still made a stick in time. David's father is strongly against his son's relationship with the driver's daughter, because David is already engaged to Elizabeth, although David is not willing to be engaged to any woman, Lanes decides to help his father fight the mandarin ducks. He first took advantage of David's butt injury to date Sabina, and then took advantage of David's recovery to win Sabina's favor. Although Ryans looks stern, women like this "very mysterious" man. So Sabina and Lines went back and forth, and sure enough, Sabina had a good impression of Lines. Of course Sabina couldn't believe that she would fall in love with this cold-faced man, so she desperately took back her heart, hoping to return to David's side.
Lanes' original plan was to trick Sabina into a ship and send her to Paris. But when Lanes found out he, too, was in love with Sabina, he regretted it. "People are most afraid of being emotional." Once you are emotional, your position will be untenable. Lanes, who was supposed to break up David and Sabina, decided not to do this unethical thing. He broke Sabina's heart by telling Sabina of his plan, and then he replaced the ship's ticket with David and Sabina's Paris tour for two... For love, Ryans really took great pains . Is he doing this for his brother, or for himself?
Unexpectedly, David graciously ceded Sabina to Lines, and Sabina ended up with Lines. It's a little weird, but it's a happy ending anyway. I'm really at a loss for words in the face of such a love affair... Billy Wilder has filmed "Battlefield Soul", "Double Indemnity", "Sunset Boulevard", "Poker King" before this " and many other films with more serious themes, this time he turned his perspective to comedy films. Billy Wilder chose Audrey Hepburn as the heroine because he thought there was something endearing about Hepburn. At that time, Hepburn became popular all over the world with "Roman Holiday" and became a first-line superstar, and the shooting of this "Dragon and Phoenix" also had twists and turns. Since Hepburn's schedule was too full, the shooting cycle had to be extended in order to wait for her. But it also gave Billy Wilder time to revise the script on the fly.
And the story behind the scenes of the movie is no less exciting than the movie itself. At the last moment before the film starts, Humphrey Bogart replaced the original Cary Grant. However, Bogart and William Holden disagreed , Bogart did not want Audrey Hepburn to play Sabrina, thinking his wife Lauren Bacall would be more suitable, but Holden fell in love with Hepburn at the time. The three leading actors in the film were paid $300,000 for Bogart, $150,000 for Holden, and $15,000 for Hepburn. Although Edith Head won the Oscar for best costume design for the film, the vast majority of Audrey Hepburn's costumes were designed by Hubert de Givenchy, and Hepburn himself completed costumes from Givenchy It was her first time working with a French designer, and Givenchy became a loyal partner in Hepburn's film career. In the film, when Linus takes Sabrina to the theater, the two are watching The Seven Year Itch, Billy Wilder's next movie .
During the filming of the film, Audrey Hepburn fell in love with William Holden, but Hepburn broke up immediately after learning that Holden was infertile. Regardless of the urgency of the shooting schedule, Humphrey Bogart had to take a break at 6 pm, because 6 o'clock is his regular drink time, and for his beloved whiskey and soda, he does not buy any producer's account, if Unsatisfied, he would rather walk away. Like 1950's "Sunset Boulevard," the script began unfinished, and writer Ernest Lyman was nearly exhausted during filming. One day, Humphrey Bogart was furious for not getting a copy of the scene that day. Wilder was extremely dissatisfied with Bogart's attitude and told the crew that if Bogart didn't apologize to Ryman, the film would stop shooting. , and finally, Bogart finally resolved the deadlock. During filming, Billy Wilder also helped with the script, and one day he asked Audrey Hepburn to pretend to be sick to buy time for the script.
Billy Wilder's comedy is full of humor and wit. For example, when Sabina was studying cooking in Paris, she sent a letter to her family. Father reads "I don't think about David as often", family says "good", father continues to read "except at night", family says "not good", father reads "I decided to be sensible the other day, so I ripped David's picture", the family said "yes", but the father read "could you send some repair tape by airmail?" and the family said "no". Another example is Sabina learning to make cakes in culinary school, but she did not satisfy her teachers. At this time, an old man next to her reminded her that she hadn't turned on the oven at all, and said that women who did not go well in love would always forget to turn on the oven. This kind of flashing and humorous language similar to Lubitsch fills every detail of the whole film, making people smile from the heart.
