Mikhail Pavlovich Spoliansky (Russian: Михаил Павлович Сполянский, romanized: Mikhail Pavlovich Spolyanskiy; 28 December 1898 – 28 June 1985) was a Russian-German composer. He made his name writing cabaret and revue songs in the Weimar Republic, but was forced to emigrate to London in 1933 following the rise of Nazism and stayed in Britain for the rest of his life, re-inventing himself as a composer of film scores.
