Romulus and the Sabines (Italian: Il ratto delle sabine) is a 1945 Italian comedy film directed by Mario Bonnard and starring Totò, Carlo Campanini and Clelia Matania. It was one of several of Totò's postwar comedies to use elements of neorealism.[1]

Plat summary

Toto is the actor of a penniless theater group: they arrive in a small town to offer their theatrical calendar to the mayor. Meanwhile a professor: caught but shy, presents to the community his play, "The Rape of the Sabine Women", but the provincial inhabitants hate mortally the theater. The professor is in despair, but Toto willingly accepts the part of the work, just to eat something. At the end, the opera is performed at the theater, but it is a disaster, because the genre is drama, but Toto gullibility makes it a comic farce.
