High Tide at Noon is a 1957 British drama film directed by Philip Leacock.

[2] High Tide at Noon was based on the first of a series of novels by Elisabeth Ogilvie, set in Maine.

[3] A woman named Joanna returns to an island off the coast of Nova Scotia where she was raised, and where memories immediately stir from her past.

She has had a previous kiss with the handsome but arrogant and aggressive Simon Breck and she agrees to meet him.

Economic hardship overwhelms nearly everyone on the island, particularly Joanna's parents, the MacKenzies, as the fishing community's lobster traps start to come up empty.

Worse for her, Alec amasses a large debt to Simon as a result of his gambling.
