description This article explores the political and fiscal circumstances surrounding the demise of the distributor Leo-Film AG of Munich between 1933 and 1935. It shows how Leo-Film, a company closely associated with the Catholic Church, and which had borrowed heavily to sustain its activities during the period of the transition to sound, was brought down due to a Nazi 'show trial' that did great damage to the reputation and standing of the Catholic Church in Germany. The historical actors involved in the demise of Leo-Film include several important individuals who later became significant in the Nazi regime as well in the opposition to it.
