'''''Raskenstam''''' is a 1983 Swedish [comedy film](/source/comedy_film) directed by [Gunnar Hellström](/source/Gunnar_Hellstr%C3%B6m). 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.svenskfilmdatabas.se/sv/item/?type=film&itemid=16474 |title=Raskenstam |work=Svensk Filmdatabas |access-date=3 October 2020}}</ref><ref name="verklighetens">{{cite web |last1=Sellén |first1=Patric |title=Verklighetens Raskenstam |url=https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/vasternorrland/verklighetens-raskenstam |publisher=[Sveriges Television](/source/Sveriges_Television) |access-date=31 March 2023 |date=19 April 2019}}</ref>

The script was written by [Birgitta Stenberg](/source/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.<ref name="assarmo">{{cite web |last1=Assarmo |first1=Bitte |title=Hon föll offer för den skoningslöse Raskenstam |url=https://www.kulturhistoria.se/2022/01/04/hon-foll-offer-for-den-skoningslose-raskenstam/ |website=kulturhistoria.se}}</ref>
