Sabrina (the movie, not the TV show)

This is about the movie Sabrina from 1954, starring Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and William Holden. I'll try my best to explain it.

It's about this girl named Sabrina Fairchild, the daughter of the chauffeur of a really rich family. The family has 2 sons, one who lives for work, and the other who hasn't worked a day in his life. She has been in love with the slacker son all her life, but he thinks of her as a little kid. She goes to cooking school in Paris to try to get over him, which she thinks she does, and she comes home more grown-up and sophisticated.

David, the slacker son, doesn't recognize her and falls for her like she wished he would. This causes a problem for the business-man son, who has arranged a marriage for his brother, and has a business deal riding on his relationship with the bride's family. He tries to break them up, but ends up falling for Sabrina instead.

Here's a video clip of Sabrina getting home from Paris and David not recognizing her. Ignore the subtitles--it was the best clip I could find. The only other good one was Sabrina's attempted suicide, but it's long and kind of depressing.
