In "Rulers of the Sea" filmed in the USA in 1939, the successful pairing of Will Fyffe and Margaret Lockwood was again tested as father and daughter, presumably because of the success of their similar on screen partnership in "Owd Bob" filmed the previous year in the U.K. Margaret was so photogenic in 1938 and had considerable acting skills and in "Owd Bob" perfectly affects a charming lowland Scottish accent playing a dutiful daughter to her widower father,Will McAdam (Will Fyffe).Her "love interest" is David Moore (John Loder) who plays a Cumberland sheep farmer whose prize sheepdog gives the film its title.John was in real life probably most famous for marrying another raven haired beauty, Hedy Lamarr.
This a gentle story about Cumberland hill sheep farmers with a "who done it" theme relating to how sheep are being prematurely killed by a wild beast that needs to be tracked down.The suspicion eventually rests either on "Owd Bob" or "Black Wull" the prize sheep dog owned by Will Fyffe.Dog lovers will love this film but I thought that the dog trial competition scenes could have done with some editing as they seemed rather prolonged.In return another sub-plot could have been woven into the main fabric of the story/screenplay.For that reason I rated it 6/10.
