Leo Leux (7 March 1893 – 8 September 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-oriented films such as Venus on Trial (1941).[2] He continued to work in cinema following World War II, right up to his death in 1951.
