Hideout in the Alps (1936)

A breezy crime caper involving forged bank notes and skis. Jim Kent (Ronald Squire) is an old lag who has been released from gaol for forgery. He vows to go straight but discovers to his horror that his nephew Gilbert (Arthur Macrae) may have got into the same game. He follows Gilbert and his niece Linda (Jane Baxter) to the Alps where he finds a forging gang using the cover of a hotel to commit their crimes.

The police in the form of Inspector Forsyth (Anthony Bushell) are in the Alps too. Jim recognises old bill already and tries to save his nephew from being caught with the help of Linda...

This is a good fun film that travels from England to the Continent and back a couple of times. It is fast paced, often feeling a bit like a serial. The film climaxes with a rather entertaining chase scene through the snow. Margaret Rutherford plays a good role as one of the crime bosses.
