The Abduction of the Sabine Women (German: Der Raub der Sabinerinnen) is a 1936 German comedy film directed by Robert A. Stemmle and starring Bernhard Wildenhain, Max Gülstorff, and Maria Koppenhöfer. It was based on a play which has been adapted into films several times.^[1] It was shot at the Carl Froelich's Berlin Studios located in Tempelhof.^[2] The film's sets were designed by the art directors Walter Haag and Franz Schroedter.

High school professor Gollwitz wrote a play as a student, which he now describes as a youthful sin. Low-rent theater impresario Emanuel Striese, who is struggling with numerous problems in the ensemble and is also not well off financially, finds out about it and wants to perform it with his family. He is able to persuade Gollwitz, who only agrees on the condition that he is not named and that his wife does not find out. Of course, the wife comes back from vacation early and nothing goes according to plan. In the end, Ms. Striese has a saving idea.
