I know about two versions of this popular film, one starring Audrey Hepburn and the other starring Julia Ormond. It has been way too long since I have seen Sabrina, so I don't remember details, but I feel like I remember two parties at the great house . .one with adolescent Sabrina up in the tree watching and wishing, and the other with all-grown-up Sabrina in attendance as the beauty of the ball.
She's just the daughter of the estate's chauffeur, but a few years in Paris works wonders on an awkward girl. When she returns home, everyone takes a second look at the girl no one ever noticed. The special twist on this tale is that the estate has two sons, Linus and David. She always had a crush on dashing David, but he never noticed her till she returned from France and now he is engaged. No-nonsense big brother Linus wants to make sure Sabrina doesn't interfere with David's wedding/family business merger plans, so he whisks Sabrina away and pretends he is in love with her to distract her from David.
A complicated mess, but recognition happens eventually.
