Robert Montgomery stars in Hide-Out playing a dapper hood, front man for protection racketeer C. Henry Gordon. He doesn't do the rough stuff, Montgomery is the velvet glove and others provide the muscle.
Police lieutenant Edward Arnold has been trying to nail Montgomery for years and a complaint has Gordon ordering Montgomery out into the country. With a police bullet in him Montgomery does wind up on the Miller farm upstate where they nurse him back to health.
Montgomery who got that police bullet because he made an unscheduled stop to pick up one of his bimbos, falls for country girl Maureen O'Sullivan. She's certainly the farmer's daughter in a part normally reserved for Janet Gaynor at Fox. The rest of her family are parents Whitford Kane and Elizabeth Patterson and kid brother Mickey Rooney.
I don't think I have to tell you too much more. Montgomery does well as the slowly reforming hood and he gets good support from the rest of the cast. Note down the list playing club owners and protection racket victims Henry Armetta, Herman Bing, and Douglass Dumbrille.
This one's a good comedy/drama, comedy provided by Montgomery's attempts to adapt to country living.
