Dragon and Phoenix

Aurore 2022-03-25 09:01:10

"Dragon and Phoenix" Miss Hepburn played the love story between two brothers in the family of Sabrina and Larry Bi. The driver's daughter falls in love with the employer's son, but Sabrina has never had an inferiority complex. After returning from her studies in Paris, she is even more reborn and has the courage to face life and love. The typical love story of Cinderella marrying a rich boy shows the awakening of feminist thinking, but what I admire more is Sabrina's sincerity and calmness towards love and life, an instinct that we have long lacked. Shouldn't people be born to bloom for their own life?

The interlude "La Vie En Rose" that haunts my ears in the whole play turns out to be so familiar and moving???

    The two are inexplicably incompatible

    There are occasional Billy Wilder-style golden sentences, but this kind of film that only loves to love is boring as a whole.

Sabrina quotes

  • David Larrabee: What's so constructive about marrying Elizabeth Tyson?

    Linus Larrabee: [offering a sheet of plastic] Taste it.

    David Larrabee: [licks it] It's sweet.

    Linus Larrabee: That's right. It's made of sugar cane.

    David Larrabee: Sugar cane. Wait a minute. This wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that the Tysons own the largest holdings of sugar cane in Puerto Rico, would it?

    Linus Larrabee: Second largest. The largest have no daughter.

    David Larrabee: It's all beginning to make sense. Mr. Tyson owns the sugarcane, you own the formula for the plastics, and I'm supposed to be offered up as a human sacrifice on the altar of the industrial progress. Is that it?

    Linus Larrabee: You make it sound so vulgar, David, as if the son of the hot dog dynasty were being offered in marriage to the daughter of the mustard king. Surely... surely you don't object to Elizabeth Tyson just because her father happens to have twenty million dollars? That's very narrow-minded of you, David.

    David Larrabee: Just one thing you overlooked. I haven't proposed, and she hasn't accepted.

    Linus Larrabee: Oh, don't worry. I proposed and Mr. Tyson accepted.

    David Larrabee: Did you kiss him?

  • Oliver Larrabee: Now, I'm not saying that all Larrabees have been saints. There was a Thomas Larrabee who was hung for piracy, and there was a Benjamin Larrabee who was a slave trader, and there was my great-great uncle, Joshua Larrabee, who was shot in Indiana while attempting to rob a train, but there NEVER was a Larrabee who behaved as David Larrabee has behaved here tonight!

    David Larrabee: And exactly what have I done?
