Set during the London Blitz of 1940, Tommy Trinder stars as a kennelman who volunteers for the East End Auxiliary Fire Service. The volunteers have to work alongside the regular firemen, who resent the amateurs but who could also not have saved so many lives without them. This film was made in 1943 with the help of the National Fire Service and is now seen as a tribute to all the professionals and volunteers who put their lives at risk saving others.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.   Tommy Trinder plays it straight as a young man who joins the Auxiliary Fire Service in Blitz-era London. He soon finds himself part of a brave and dedicated team of volunteers who constantly risk their lives in the burning streets of the bomb-battered city. Directed by Basil Deardon, The Bells Go Down is a patriotic tribute to the men of the A.F.S. (The Blue Lamp, Victim) that features breathtakingly spectacular scenes of fire-ravaged London.   Actors Tommy Trinder, James Mason, Philip Friend, Mervyn Johns, William Hartnell, Finlay Currie, Philippa Hiatt, Meriel Forbes, Beatrice Varley, Norman Pierce, Muriel George, Julian Vedey, Richard George, H Victor Weske & Leslie Harcourt Director Basil Dearden Certificate Universal Suitable for All Year 1943 Screen Fullscreen 1.33:1 Languages English Duration 1 hour and 30 minutes (approx)
