The Lake Calls (German: Das Meer ruft) is a 1933 German drama film directed by Hans Hinrich and starring Heinrich George, Erika Helmke and Hans Mierendorff. It is based on the poem "Terje Vigen" by Henrik Ibsen. It was shot at the Terra Studios in Berlin and on location on the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Ernö Metzner and Erich Zander. The film shifted the setting from Ibsen's original work which took place in the Napoleonic Wars to the Baltic during the First World War.
