Cock o' the North is a 1935 British comedy drama film directed by Oswald Mitchell and Challis Sanderson and starring George Carney, Marie Lohr and Eve Lister.[1] It was shot at the Cricklewood Studios in London.[2] It was produced for release by Butcher's Film Service. Like many of Butcher's films during the decade, it shares its name with a traditional piece of music. In this case the title refers to the railway engine Cock o' the North.
