Screening of the 1954 film 'Sabrina' within the SLAM Cinema series at the Saint Louis Art Museum.
Sabrina is coming to the Saint Louis Art Museum on Friday, March 26, as part of the SLAM Cinema series. It's the 1954 version, the one with Audrey Hepburn in the lead, and it's playing in the museum's cinema space.
If you've never seen it, the story is a classic: Sabrina is the daughter of the family's chauffeur, a girl who's spent her life in the shadow of the wealthy Larrabee family. She's always been the quiet one, the one people look past, until she spends some time in Paris and comes back as a completely different person. When she returns, the Larrabee brothers—the playboy and the serious one—both find themselves drawn to her, and the whole thing turns into a romantic tug-of-war. It's a movie about class, family, and the kind of transformation that happens when someone finally starts seeing themselves for who they are.
Watching it at the museum adds another layer to the experience. There's something about seeing a film like this in a space dedicated to art that makes you notice the visuals more—the way Hepburn carries herself, the mid-century costumes, the crisp black-and-white cinematography. It's a movie that wears its elegance on its sleeve, and it fits right in with the surroundings.

The screening is on Friday, March 26, at 11 AM, so it's a late-morning date rather than an evening one. If you're around the museum that day, it's an easy way to spend a couple of hours with a movie that's held up well over the decades. Just keep in mind that the screening is part of the SLAM Cinema program, so it's one of several films the museum brings in throughout the year.
