Escape Me Never is a 1935 British drama film directed by Paul Czinner, produced by Herbert Wilcox, and starring Elisabeth Bergner (recreating the role of Gemma as she created it onstage in New York and London), Hugh Sinclair and Griffith Jones.

In Venice, Sir Ivor (Leon Quartermaine) and Lady McLean (Irene Vanbrugh) are entertaining a guest when a woman is discovered dressed as a schoolgirl hiding in one of their rooms – she confesses that she is not part of the school party visiting during the Wednesday open day but a poor unwed mother using the crowded school party as a means of getting a free dinner.

She is asked more about her background and reluctantly relates that she is living with a composer, the son of the famous maestro Sanger.

The McLean's daughter, Fenella (Penelope Dudley-Ward), is engaged to a composer, the son of the famous maestro Sanger.

Sebastian has an idea for a ballet and when he sees Fenella searching an hotel balcony for her mother's purse, he has a coup de foudre.

Indeed, he ignores the baby's failing health, and when Gemma seeks him at the Opera House, she is forced to leave the building.
