On Top Of The World (film)
''On Top of the World'' is a 1936 British comedy film directed by Redd Davis and starring Betty Fields, Frank Pettingell and Leslie Bradley.

The film was reissued several times. The ''Monthly Film Bulletin'' called the story "very naive" and said it presented "an atmosphere of snobbery." Other reviews ignored the political messages and stated "through the wit and sympathy of a woman is harmony and prosperity restored." The film had originally been intended as a vehicle for Field's sister, Gracie Fields. 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."
