High Tide (1947) is a mystery, directed by John Reinhardt. It stars Lee Tracy and Don Castle. The 72-minute film holds an audience score of 6/10.

What High Tide Is About

A car goes off the road near Malibu and the two men inside are pinned in it; as the water rises they start talking about how they got there. The story turns back from that point: a newspaper editor has hired an old friend, a private detective, to help him stop a gambling boss from taking over the city. John Reinhardt directed it from a crime story by Raoul Whitfield, and it is among the last significant leading roles Lee Tracy took. It is a small Monogram picture, but the rising water, the closing clock and the case opened by conversation have kept it alive.
