Rapid Film
Rapid Film was a German film production company established by producer Wolf C. Hartwig. Based in Munich, it operated from the late 1950s to the mid-1980s producing low-budget but commercially successful genre films. During the 1960s Rapid established a distribution arrangement with the leading German studio Constantin Film, and provided the company with many of its hit releases.[1] During the 1970s Hartwig concentrated on producing sex comedies such as the Schoolgirl Report series.
It should not be confused with a company of the same name owned by French producer Bernard Natan during the silent era.

gollark: Now, all humans are approximately bee density maximizers.
gollark: As a hypothetical bee density maximizer, it is obvious that I would not in fact want to die, since this would reduce future bee density; even though my future bee-density-maximizing self, due to not existing, would not be around to care, since I care about future things (or, well, estimations of future things?), it would be incorrect to die, as this would reduce estimated future bee density.
gollark: Yes it is. Their argument is wrong and bad.
