A publicity still for the film.
In spite of the photo the atmosphere on the set was one of the worst.
Bogart, who had been cast after Cary Grant had pulled out at the last minute,almost immediately began to antagonize Holden, claiming that Holden "mugged" in scenes and that he was at best a mediocre actor. Tempers flared and Holden had to be physically restrained by wilder from carrying out his threat to kill Bogart.
Thereafter, and  even after Bogart's death, Holden never missed an opportunity to verbally attack  him in the press.
Even between Bogart and Hepburn there was tension.

In spite of the off-camera shenanigans, Sabrina was generally regarded as a successful comedy-romance.  Holden  actually play second fiddle to Bogart as the  younger brother and initial target of  Sabrina's affections, who first spurns her and later has second thoughts only to set her free when he realizes she really loves his older brother (Bogart) and he her.
His portrait of the carefree playboy is charming and  rendered with the light touch the comedy requires.
Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly gave terrific performances in this  first rate drama about  an alcoholic singer who wallows in self pity until he seizes a chance to make a comeback. Crosby won an oscar nomination for Best Actor and Kelly  won the Oscar for  Best Actress for her sensitive portrayal of his wife.
Once again Holden plays second fiddle as the man who is promoting Crosby comeback and who first antagonizes and then come to understand, appreciate and actually love Kelly.
