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. 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.
