Apparently, the film was simultaneously shot in two versions, one for the Italians, and one for the French. The Italian version is the one that was dubbed into English for international release in 1964 (as "Romulus and the Sabines"). The French version was presumably only seen by the French. The Italian version, the one that is widely known, is available on German DVD as "Der Raub der Sabinerinnen". It is 1.85:1 widescreen (cropped from 2.35:1) and German Language only, DVD running time 86 minutes. The French version is available as a "Kiosk" DVD (it was released as part of a Peplum collection that could only be bought in French newspaper kiosks). It is called "L'Enlevement des Sabines" and is 2.35:1 letterbox, French Language only, DVD running time 90 minutes. Both films differ in the used takes as well as some of the supporting cast. Fortunately Roger Moore is in both of them and playing the same part.
