Tromba is a 1949 thriller film co-written and directed by Helmut Weiss and starring René Deltgen, Angelika Hauff and Gustav Knuth. It is a circus film with elements of film noir.[1] It was one of the most popular West German films of the year, suggesting audiences appreciated a shift away from rubble films.[2] It was made at the Bavaria Studios in Munich with sets designed by art director Ernst H. Albrecht. The film was released in the United States in 1952 as Tromba: the Tiger Man by Lippert Pictures.
