Leo Leux (1893–1951) was a German composer of film scores. He began working on films during the Weimar Republic, following the introduction of sound films. During the Nazi era, Leux worked largely on entertainment films such as Truxa (1937)[1] as well more ideogically-orientated films such as Venus on Trial (1941).[2] He continued to work in cinema following the Second World war, right up to his death in 1951.
