Turn of the Tide (1935) is a British drama film directed by Norman Walker and starring John Garrick, Geraldine Fitzgerald, and Wilfrid Lawson, and was the first feature film made by J. Arthur Rank.[1][2] Lacking a distributor for his film, Rank set up his own distribution and production company which subsequently grew into his later empire.[3]

The film is set in a North Yorkshire fishing village, and relates the rivalry between two fishing families. The actors included John Garrick, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Wilfrid Lawson speak in the local accent. The work is based on the novel Three Fevers by Leo Walmsley.[4]

Reception

Although the film was originally considered a box office disappointment it was eventually voted the sixth best British movie of 1936[5]

Britmovie called it a "refreshingly compassionate drama that benefits from being filmed on location at Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby." [3]
