Crudely retitled Kidnapped Ladies for American consumption, Raub der Sabinerinnem is a comical spin on the legendary abduction of the Sabine Women. A bookish college professor (Max Guelstorff) is busily staging a theatrical production based on the story of the Sabines when a two-bit theatrical producer (Bernhard Wildenhain) catches a rehearsal. Inspired, the producer talks the professor into converting his serious drama into a farce comedy, complete with a tap-dancing finale. Somehow this enables the mild-mannered professor to win the love of the heroine, a cabaret dancer. Raud der Sabinerinnem was adapted from a popular stage comedy by the Schoenthan Brothers. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
