The Robbery of the Sabine Women is a German film by Robert A. Stemmle from 1936 . It is based on the play of the same name by the brothers Franz and Paul von Schönthan .

action

High school professor Gollwitz wrote a play as a student, which he now describes as a youthful sin. The smear theater director Emanuel Striese , who struggles with numerous problems in the ensemble and is also not well off economically, learns about it and wants to perform it with his family. He can persuade Gollwitz, who only agrees on the condition that he is not named and that his wife does not find out about it. Of course, the wife comes back from vacation early and everything is going completely different than planned. In the end, Ms. Striese finally has a saving idea.

Reviews

“A smear theater director with more enthusiasm than expertise and a small town professor with secret artistic inclinations are the opponents in the often played, time and again effective stage fluctuation of the Schönthan brothers. This film version also has a patina, but the actors - especially Max Gülstorff - fill their roles with passion. "

“Popular comedy among small-town comedians. Outdated."
