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.[1][2]
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.[3]
