Escape Me Never (1935 - Public Domain)

Edited by David Lean -- 'Escape Me Never' is a 1935 British comedy 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.

The score is by William Walton with orchestration by Hyam Greenbaum. Bergner was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress for her performance, but lost to Bette Davis (playing Joyce Heath in 'Dangerous' - 1935).

'Escape Me Never' Plot : a fallen woman with a baby gets involved in a love triangle with the son of a famous composer.

This is not a quality copy but it is worth watching because the clever editing by David Lean is so good it overcomes some of the mechanical wooden acting in the film by the lesser characters. Elisabeth Bergner is delightful and tremendously funny in the film.
