Harry Rapf (16 October 1880 in New York City[1] – 6 February 1949 in Los Angeles), was an American film producer.

By the end of the decade, Harry Rapf had launched a very successful series of low-budget silent comedies starring Karl Dane and George K. Arthur.

The Hollywood Revue of 1929 was a gamble in its day -- no story, no dramatics, no structure, just a pastiche of sketches and musical numbers depending almost entirely on sheer star power: John Gilbert, Norma Shearer, Buster Keaton, Joan Crawford, Bessie Love, Marion Davies, Laurel and Hardy, Marie Dressler, Cliff Edwards, and Dane & Arthur.

Rapf kept trying to find ways to salvage the scenes already filmed, and many of them were ultimately inserted into the studio's two-reel Technicolor musical shorts of 1933-34.

Rapf's final attempt at the format, The Hollywood Revue of 1933, was announced as an all-star attraction but went through many changes of writers, directors, and cast members until it finally emerged as Hollywood Party (1934), starring Jimmy Durante and Lupe Vélez, with guest appearances by Laurel and Hardy, The Three Stooges, and Mickey Mouse.
