Turn of the Tide

About This Movie

Turn of the Tide is a 1935 British film blending romance and drama. Directed by Norman Walker, it explores a rivalry between fishing families in a North Yorkshire village, based on the novel Three Fevers by Leo Walmsley.

Turn of the Tide is somewhat scarce, often overlooked in the wider catalog of British cinema from the 30s. Its historical significance as the first feature from J. Arthur Rank adds a layer of interest for collectors. Though it may not have the same visibility as more popular films from the era, its unique themes and setting can be quite appealing for those focused on regional British cinema. Keep an eye out for original prints or any rare promotional materials, as they can be quite sought after.
