Lambert Feels Threatened (German: Lambert fühlt sich bedroht) is a 1949 Austrian mystery crime film directed by Géza von Cziffra and starring Hannelore Schroth, Curd Jürgens and Leopold Rudolf. The film was one of only a handful of Austrian crime films produced in the post-war era, with similarities to American and British film noirs.[1] It was shot at the Schönbrunn Studios in Vienna and on location around Pörtschach am Wörthersee. The film's sets were designed by the art director Fritz Jüptner-Jonstorff. It was given a West German release in September 1951.
