Erwin Scharf (1901–1972) was an Austrian art director. He worked in the German film industry during the Weimar Era, often collaborating with Robert Neppach on set designs. Because of his Jewish heritage he left Germany following the Nazi takeover in 1933, and spent the next five years working in a variety of European countries. This included the 1937 Carol Reed-directed film Who's Your Lady Friend? in Britain.[1] In 1938 he settled in the United States. His final cinematic work was on the 1950 film Kill or Be Killed.
