      nick s The directing was stiff and the dialogue a bit too tight. The actors had some strong spells and then moments when they sounded like they were just reading out the script. Overall passable. It lifted near the end. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review dave j The beginning of this movie happens to also be the end with 2 people both badly injured after a car went over head to a beach side with the ocean tide coming- hence the title "High Tide". Known investigator for the newspaper, Tim Slade (Don Castle) answers a telegram from a former colleague he used to work with by the name of Hugh (Lee Tracy), a supposedly heartless and somewhat powerful editor of the newspaper he is currently employed in offers Tim to be his beneficiary of 10,000. Once Tim Slade comes back home, he is then confronted by old flames and the manager of the paper who used to be Jack's girlfriend creating tensions between the manager of the paper and him. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review stu b An only intermittently entertaining crime flick staring Don Castle as a reporter-turned-private eye hired by his former editor to shield him from his enemies. Some snappy tough guy repartee and quick-hitting scenes don't quite rescue the film from a complicated but strangely unexciting plot, and the big reveal finale--though admittedly unexpected--wraps things up a bit too abruptly. Aside from some of the performances and a handful of classic noirish images, "High Tide"--an obscure little 90-minute chestnut from 1947--doesn't have a whole lot to recommend it. Nothing else to do? Give it a look. Something better? Don't bother. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/11/22 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
