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

Production

The original play was first performed in England in 1933, and on Broadway in 1935. Elisabeth Bergner appeared on stage in a revival of the play in 1942.

In August 1943, Warner Bros. Pictures 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.

Lupino and Flynn were announced for the film in September 1945, with Peter Godfrey attached to direct. Shooting started later that year. It was completed in February 1946.

Lupino sang two songs in the film. She was meant to be billed after Flynn and Parker, but protested and succeeded in being billed after Flynn.

This was the last film to be released with a complete musical score by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, who retired from composing for film in 1947.(Korngold did later adapt the music of Richard Wagner for Republic Pictures' 1955 biography of Wagner, Magic Fire; he wrote some original music for that film as well.)
