The Chaperone (out Apr 25) is a sweet drama set in the 1920s about a middle-aged woman from Kansas who serves as chaperone for an aspiring dancer in New York City. The subplots involving the dancer don't offer much but the chaperone (played Elizabeth McGovern) is a character who becomes more and more interesting with each scene. Grade: B.
