And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Audrey Hepburn and William Holden on the set of Sabrina (1954). When people knew how to dress.
I notice he's standing on about 2" thick lumber and she's in flat-heeled shoes. I guess that means she was too tall for the characters and how they're supposed to look next to each other. They'd be almost eye to eye if she had even small heels on and he wasn't on that wood.
Ever seen how small Natalie Portman is next to Chris Hemsworth and what they do to have them play opposite each other in the Thor movies? Opposite problem. She's walking on a platform in almost every shot.
Agree. The remake is awful. But then there is a certain atmosphere in 50's films than cannot be reproduced today. Films like "North by Northwest" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's" come to mind.

yup.
DeleteShe was 5'7" and Holden 5'11"
ReplyDeletePortman is 5'3" and Thor is 6'3".
Appears to be a colorized B&W image.
ReplyDeleteIt’s probably Bogart, not Holden, that they were worried would look too short looking next to Audrey.
ReplyDeleteNo, it's Holden.
DeleteThat ain't Bogart.
DeleteCapri pants and tight sweaters, I think I see where Laura Petrie picked up her fashion style.
ReplyDeleteMuch superior to the Harrison Ford remake.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Some movies should NEVER be remade.

DeleteThose bras are ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteTake your eye out.
