The Bells Go Down

DVD.-Estado: Nuevo Precintado.

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?
