February 28 movie: Hide-out. Robert Montgomery plays a womanizing gangster who hides out at a farm in Connecticut. The farming family, not knowing what he is, take him in and accept him. Especially the cute farmer's daughter, Maureen O'Sullivan. This being a Robert Montgomery movie, it's a bit moralistic at the end. Still, I love Montgomery and I loved this movie. The scenes where he tries to learn how to feed chickens are hilarious. Also features Edward Arnold as the cop trying to bring in him, and Mickey Rooney as the sickeningly cute little boy. Did he ever play anything else?
