Tobis Film

Tobis Film was a German film production and film distribution company. Founded in the late 1920s as a merger of several companies involved in the switch from silent to sound films the organisation emerged as a leading German studio. From 1933 until 1938 Tobis controlled the dominant Austrian producer Sascha-Film which was known as Tobis-Sascha. From 1932 it also owned a majority share of one of the main Portuguese producers known as Tobis Portuguesa, a name which the company kept even after the german participation was terminated at the end of world War II.
