Trapeze is a 1956 American circus film drama directed by Carol Reed, starring Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis and Gina Lollobrigida, making her debut in American films.

Plot - Crippled trapeze aerialist and former star Mike Ribble sees great promise in young, brash Tino Orsini. Ribble - only the sixth man to have completed the dangerous triple somersault—thinks his protégé is capable of matching the same feat, but only if he gives him rigorous training. However, Orsini is distracted by the new third member of their circus act, the manipulative Lola. Tensions rise as a love triangle forms.
