4.0 out of 5 stars A Tearjerker Indeed!, June 12, 2007

This review is from: Escape Me Never [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Ok, ok. I'm in the minority here, but I loved this film! Watching it brought out my emotional side. I cried and cried and cried. I thought Errol Flynn and Ida Lupino were great. Though reviewers mock the weak screenplay and melodramatic acting, I thought the film was sweet and very enchanting!

Flynn and Lupino were the best of friends before the making of this film. Yet during its filming, they became romantically involved, which I thought played so well for the characters they portrayed. There was a spark between them that was undeniable! Lupino herself said that "the extra gleam in her eyes" was due in part to her off-set fling with Flynn.

Eleanor Parker was beautiful and her counterpart, Gig Young, were both decent in their supporting roles. The spotlight, however, does shine brightly on its two major stars. The ending is a little unsatisfying, though. The epiphany of Flynn's character is disbelieving; he didn't do much groveling for my taste! Throughout much of the film he acts horrid and irresponsible. However, he's forgiven albeit a little too easily!

"Escape Me Never" is not highly regarded as their best picture, but I still think it's worth a shot. If you're a softie like me, then you'll be crying your eyes out. As a testament, my eyes are still stinging hot and dry from all the tears I've shed. Also, there's wonderful music as well with some very romantic pieces by Erich Wolfgang Korngold.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Enigmatic Flynn Outing Manages to be Entertaining, December 4, 2007

Ida Lupino Lupino as a peripatetic soul makes this an interesting if not disturbing film. A rather caddish Errol Flynn marries Lupino as he struggles with his composing all in an effort to win over Eleanor Parker the fiancée of his brother (Gig Young). The acting is good at times but the plot defies credibility yet it does entertain. This film contains another outstanding score by Erich Wolfgang Korngold.

I think this is one of Errol Flynn's greatest movies. He first makes you love his character, hate his character, then in the end allows you to forgive. I recommend this movie highly. Forget Me Never is sappy, but it is sappy in a good way. You laugh, you cry and before you know it, the movie is over. It has a complete storyline that is on the same level as The Adventures of Robin Hood.
