On Top of the World
1936
On Top of the World is a 1936 British comedy film directed by Redd Davis and starring Betty Fields, Frank Pettingell and Leslie Bradley.
After her dog wins at the racetrack, a Lancashire mill worker (Fields) uses the winnings to start a soup kitchen for displaced workers during an industrial dispute, and then mediates between management and labour.
The film was reissued several times.[1] The Monthly Film Bulletin called the story "very naive" and said it presented "an atmosphere of snobbery."[1] Other reviews ignored the political messages and stated "through the wit and sympathy of a woman is harmony and prosperity restored."[1]
The film had originally been intended as a vehicle for Field's sister, Gracie Fields.[2][3] The censor's approved the submitted concept stating "the dog racing part seems very improbably but no doubt Miss Gracie Fields will get away with it."[2]
