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

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The Clydebank shipyards make an effective setting for a story which, though conventional and often absurd, at least is unpretentiously told.

Thanks to capable direction and camerawork the Glasgow background is convincing, though the same can hardly be said of such details as the design for the model ship.

"[4] 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".

[5] The Oxford Times wrote, "this is a classic town-and-country saga that is spiritedly played by an exceptional Scottish ensemble.
