Storyline
While running away from the police, playboy racketeer Jack 'Lucky' Wilson receives a non-life threatening bullet wound. Lucky manages to escape and drives as far as he can before passing out. Lucky is found by farmer Henry Miller, who believes Lucky is an innocent man who was randomly shot by gangsters. Lucky contacts his partner, Tony Berrelli, who sends the mob payrolled doctor to check on Lucky's condition. Tony believes this situation is perfect: the Miller farm is the perfect hide-out for Lucky from the police during Lucky's recuperation. Farm life is against Lucky's sensibilities, that is until he meets the pretty Miller daughter, Pauline. He immediately falls for her and she for him. Lucky needs to figure out how to reconcile his gangster background with the simple farm life, especially with Henry who has had his own bad experiences with racketeers, and with the police who are still after him.

After Robert Montgomery, a bad-boy gangster, gets wounded in a shoot-out, his cronies decide to do what's best for him even though he's protesting every step of the way. One of his pals knows a guy who knows a guy, and before he knows it, Bob's cooped up in a farmhouse in the country during his recovery. He complains and wishes he could leave, until the daughter of the house, the young and beautiful Maureen O'Sullivan, brings him a cup of tea. After that, he tries to stay as long as he can!
It's always fun to watch two beautiful people fall in love on the big screen, so if you'd like to see Mia Farrow's mom and Elizabeth Montgomery's dad in a romance, check this one out. It's very obviously made in 1934, though, so be prepared for an old movie. Cell phones weren't invented yet, jokes are made about how to milk a cow, and the idea of a really great date is to pack a picnic and eat among the great outdoors looking at a river. For my fellow old movie buffs out there, if you liked The Life of Jimmy Dolan, you'll probably like this one. Both center on a gangster hiding out with a nice farming family, who fall in love with the pretty daughter, and who are being chased by a hard-nosed, soft-hearted cop. The cop in Hide-Out is Edward Arnold, and the rest of the "aw shucks" family who soften up Robert Montgomery and help him realize he's got a chance for a better life are Elizabeth Patterson, Whitford Kane, and Mickey Rooney.
