The Bells Go Down is a tribute to the wartime Auxiliary Fire
Service, the dedicated band who kept the fires of London under control
during the blitz and fire bombings of WWII.
At the outbreak of war, Bob (Philip Friend) signs up to volunteer
for the A.F.S. The organisation is overseen by professional firemen led by
MacFarlane (Finlay Currie) and Ted Robins (James Mason), who
despise Bob and his rag-tag colleagues that include Tommy (Tommy Trinder), a kennelman and Sam (Mervyn Johns), a petty dockside thief.
MacFarlane and Ted set out to break the spirits of the A.F.S. boys and
give them some proper discipline but can Bob and his cohort fight back?
Seamlessly blending fictional settings with authentic wartime footage, the
film chronicles the trials, triumphs, camaraderie and rivalry of the
ordinary heroes of the A.F.S from the eve of the war to the relentless
aerial bombardment of the Blitz.
Studiocanal will release a brand-new 4K restoration of
The Bells Go Down on Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital from June
24th, and we had two bluray copies to give away.
The winners are:
Kieran Freemantle, Trowbridge
Helen Rhoads, Bideford
