Escape Me Never is a 1947 film directed by Peter Godfrey.Sebastian and Caryl Dubrok (Errol Flynn and Gig Young) are both struggling composers in 1900 Venice. Through a misunderstanding, Caryl's high-class fiancée Fenella (Eleanor Parker) becomes convinced that Caryl has a second girlfriend, Gemma (Ida Lupino). Actually, Gemma, a widow with an infant son, is living with Sebastian, not Caryl.Fenella, quick to assume the worst, promptly leaves Venice. Sebastian, Caryl, and Gemma all take off after her in order to explain that Gemma is actually Sebastian's roommate. The trio (actually four, with the baby) stop off for the night in a village in the Italian Alps. It turns out Fenella is there too, and Sebastian, who has never met her and doesn't know who she is, falls in love. | |

Instantly Proven Wrong | |

Instantly Proven Wrong: A tour guide calls Venice "the city of silence," and this remark is followed by the blast of a cannon. (A cannon salute is fired every day at noon.) | |

Death of a Child | |
| Escape Me Never / int_269e82c1 | comment |
Death of a Child: Sebastian, too wrapped up in his ballet production to notice and too much of a purist to do "hack work" that might bring in some money, does nothing when Gemma's son Piccolo becomes seriously ill. Piccolo dies. | |

Someone to Remember Him By | |
| Escape Me Never / int_46c1dc8e | comment |
Someone to Remember Him By: In the backstory, Gemma had a husband who died, and left her with little baby Piccolo. (This is a case of Hays Code censorship, as the play this film is based on simply made Gemma an unwed mother.) | |

Door-Closes Ending | |
| Escape Me Never / int_4968ed35 | comment |
Door-Closes Ending: Technically the door doesn't close, but it still the same effect, as Gemma and Sebastian go in through the side door to watch his new ballet being performed, and the film ends. | |

Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Caryl admits it, saying that Sebastian is passionate and dramatic while he himself is "dull." Sebastian remains dedicated to his art while Caryl decides to give up composing and go into music production. | |

A Foggy Day in London Town | |
| Escape Me Never / int_6f9da277 | comment |
A Foggy Day in London Town: All the scenes set in London are shown to be foggy and damp. This is plot-relevant as, when her little son Piccolo gets sick, Gemma blames it on the crappy London weather. | |

Executive Meddling | |
| Escape Me Never / int_b6de94d1 | comment |
Executive Meddling: In-Universe. After The Prima Donna ballerina starts complaining about the music and costumes in Sebastian's opera, his producers start pushing Sebastian to slow down the tempo of the big number and work some Tchaikovsky into the score. Sebastian refuses and walks off the production in a huff. | |

| Escape Me Never / int_f36c4f98 | comment |
Easily Forgiven: Sebastian not only cheats on Gemma, but indirectly causes baby Piccolo's death by being too busy with work and his other woman to make sure the boy gets a doctor. Gemma still takes him back at the end. | |
