Turn of the Tide is a 1935 British drama film directed by Norman Walker and starring John Garrick, Geraldine Fitzgerald and Wilfrid Lawson.

[1] Lacking a distributor for his film, Rank set up his own distribution and production company which subsequently grew into his later empire.

[2] The film contains many Whitby registered boats (WY) and contains much documentary-style footage of making and repairing lobster creels.

Rejecting contemporary critical comparison of the film to Man of Aran, Greene suggested that where Man of Aran had featured sentimentality, Turn of the Tide's director "Norman Walker is concerned with truth, [...] and the beauty his picture catches is that of exact statement".

[5] Britmovie called it a "refreshingly compassionate drama that benefits from being filmed on location at Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby".
