}}Floodtide is a 1949 British romantic drama film directed by Frederick Wilson and starring Gordon Jackson, Rona Anderson, John Laurie and Jimmy Logan.^[1]

The film was one of the four of David Rawnsley's films that used his "independent frame" technique, a form of back projection.^[2]

Critical reception

The Radio Times wrote, "the grim grandeur of the Clyde shipyards provides the setting for this lacklustre melodrama which trades on the British docudramatic tradition while dealing in potboiling clichés" ; ^[3] the Oxford Times wrote, "this is a classic town-and-country saga that is spiritedly played by an exceptional Scottish ensemble" ; ^[4] while Eye for Film wrote, "Industry is the real star of this film. It's full of passion for building a better future and it may well prove inspiring to engineers just starting out today." ^[5]
