Smash And Grab

Smash And Grab

Forming a hugely popular screen partnership during the interwar years, dapper comic player Jack Buchanan and musical star Elsie Randolph bring a characteristic elan to this stylish and entertaining crime caper from the late 1930s. Directed by Q Planes' Tim Whelan, Smash And Grab (released in the US as Larceny Street) is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.

John Forrest, a private detective with a weakness for model railways, is hired by an insurance company to try to find a gang of smash-and-grab thieves targeting London's most prestigious jewellers. As the chase leads him to Ireland, Forrest finds he needs help - and who better to call upon than his impossibly elegant, highly capable wife, Alice?

First released: Monday 19th October 2015
