I loved this film, it had that charm about it, directing was good, acting was good, and it was nice to see my great city portrayed in the 1940s. It also seemed so real, a bit like a soap opera of the time in a way, it really is a hidden treasure, just glad talking pictures exists in the UK on SKY, and the best thing about it, it is one of those channels you get free, as long as you have a sky box. It was also good to see the old glasgow shipyard get portrayed in its heyday. All in all I had a smile from start to finish, because of its charm.
Gordon Jackson bags a rare leading role as a young working class Scot with a flair for designing ships. Not only does he work his way through the ranks of a Clyde shipbuilding company owned by Jack Lambert, he also woos Lambert's daughter, played by Jackson's soon-to-be wife Rona Anderson. More entertaining than expected.

James logan in this is the famous Jimmy loan not the American actor ...I should know used to park his car ...yes and a generous man for a Scotsmen
Yes they met while making this fascinating film in 1949 and were married in 1951 at Chelsea Register Office.Gordon died in 1990 while Rhona lived to 2013 having two children together while living in Hampstead London NW3.I have several dvds of Rhona especially from the early 50s when she was at her best as an actress.I was very much interested in how they filmed "Floodtide" around Clydebank in Glasgow, Scotland and how the character played by Gordon eventually reconciled with Rhona 's character. Mary, the shipyard's boss.I especially liked the engineering shots at the shipyard, showing riveting, welding ,draught plans and the launch (presumably an actual launch to obtain verisimilitude in the story) to portray the ship that young Shields designed.
I saw "Floodtide" tonight on channel 81 (Talking Pictures) which is one of my favourites since it shows films with many British made ones from my youth, some of which I remember as a 72 year old and which are not often shown on freeview tv services elsewhere.

Sorry misspelled his last name why an American actor was credited with this role is a mistake Jimmy was in carry on and so many more British and Scottish comedy TV and films and his comic routine on stage was a classic miss him loved parking his car and his remarks about a tealeaf
¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesGordon Jackson (David Shields) and Rona Anderson (Mary Anstruther) later married on June 2, 1951. They remained together until Jackson's death on January 15, 1990.
- PifiasAt the end of the film as Gordon Jackson and Rona Anderson are walking from the cliff top, it is obvious the two people are stand-ins (the girl has fair hair and a pony-tail!)

Joe Drummond: But you're working on the Clyde, boy, and that's an honour in itself if you'd the sense to see it. Ship-building started here more than a hundred years ago. Take away the Clyde and Britain would be sunk in any war we ever had to fight. This is the cradle of the craft my lad, all about you.
