History
The original Danish Rialto Film company was founded in 1897 by Constantin Philipsen (1859–1925) in Copenhagen.[1] In 1950 his son Preben Philipsen (1910–2005) established the Constantin Film distribution at Frankfurt, named after his father, together with his associate Waldfried Barthel (1913–1979). After Philipsen exited Constantin Film in 1955, he again turned to his father's film business in both Scandianvia and Germany. On 18 August 1960, he established Rialto Film GmbH at Frankfurt as a German subsidiary.
Little is known about Rialto's productions prior to 1950.
