A thoughtful, nuanced movie about class distinctions. A chauffeurs daughter (Audrey Hepburn) falls in love with a wealthy playboy son (William Holden). She is wooed away by older brother (Humphrey Bogart) because Holden is to marry daughter of corporate king that will facilitate a merger. Incredibly humorous scene with Hepburn attending a cooking school and Parisian instructor showing the proper way to break an egg. Well worth the time to watch this Black and White film from the 50's. Excellent production. Very good copy.
