    So what's to escape?

    I had never heard of "Escape Me Never" before I happened to read about it in a list of movies from 1935. I had also never heard of the director or any of the cast members. By the end, I couldn't tell what the purpose was. I don't know whether it was supposed to be a romanticization of old-money gentry or a typical rom-com. Either way, it didn't do anything for me. There's a reason why it didn't win its Oscar nomination. Very dated movie.

    PS: Penelope Dudley-Ward's daughter Tracy Reed played Ms. Foreign Affairs in "Dr. Strangelove".
