Raskenstam

Raskenstam is a 1983 Swedish comedy film directed by Gunnar Hellström. The film is based on the life of serial womanizer Gustaf Raskenstam (Anders Gustaf Eriksson), 1901-1969, who seduced more than 130 women for financial gain in the 1930s and 1940s and was sentenced to prison twice for fraud and theft.

The script was written by Birgitta Stenberg, who subsequently re-worked it into a novel with the same title. The film was criticised by some contemporary reviewers for showing events from Raskenstam's perspective and not empathising with his victims.
