Escape Me Never (1947 film)

Escape Me Never is a 1947 American melodrama film directed by Peter Godfrey, and starring Errol Flynn, Ida Lupino, Eleanor Parker, and Gig Young.

The MacLean family leaves Venice in a hurry, and takes refuge at a safe distance up in the Dolomite mountains.

It turns out that Gemma is really living with Caryl's big brother Sebastian (Errol Flynn), who took pity on the lonely young mother and let her stay with him.

Sebastian is so busy with rehearsing and perfecting his ballet that he fails to take Gemma to the hospital when her baby is sick.

[7][8] In August 1943, Warner Bros announced that they would make a film version of the play, as a follow-up to the popular The Constant Nymph.

Leonore Coffee was reported as working on the script, with Henry Blanke to produce and Joan Leslie mentioned as a possible star.

[2] However, Warner Bros records say it earned $1,221,000 domestically, and $348,000 overseas, less than its production budget, causing it to fail to recover its costs.

[16][1] Bosley Crowther, writing for The New York Times, called the film "something harsh and unbelievable, like a terrible faux-pas in a grade-school play".
