Floodtide (1949)
6/10
Pleasant film about a dull subject

Shipbuilding and designing is not exactly the most exciting of subjects.The fact that this film holds the attention is a tribute to the cast of fine Scottish actors.Gordon Jackson was a fine actor who starred in many films,opposite his wife to be Rona Ashrton.No film about Scotland would be complete without an appearance by John Lauri.The comedian Jimmy Logan plays Jackson's bst friend.The story is focused on Jacksons ambition to become a ship designer and the obstacles he has to overcome to achieve that ambition.I am sure that the inhabitants of Glasgow will be fascinated to see what their city looked like just after the war,when I still had a significant part to play in the building of the ships of the world.
