Karl Spiehs

Film Producer | * 02/20/1931 († 90, 01/27/2022) | Ternitz, Lower Austria (Austria)
Karl Spiehs (20 February 1931 – 27 January 2022) was an Austrian film producer. He produced more than 160 films and television shows from 1961 to 2017. He was born in Blindendorf-Dunkelstein, Neunkirchen District, Austria. Spiehs died on 27 January 2022, at the age of 90. ()

Karl Spiehs was an Austrian movie producer. With his movie production company LISA Film, he became one of the most prolific movie producers of the German-speaking world. The output of his company featured shallow comedies, raunchy sex movies, cheesy music films, but also exploitation films. Many of these films were slated by critics but enjoyed considerable commercial success. From the early 1990s onwards, he increasingly shifted the focus of his company from cinematic movies to made-for-tv productions.
