# The Bells Go Down (1943)

1943 · 90 min · Drama · United Kingdom


## Synopsis

The Bells Go Down is a 1943 British black-and-white wartime film made by Ealing Studios. The reference in the title is to the alarm bells in the fire station that "go down" when a call to respond is made. The film is an ensemble piece that covers the period between 27 August 1939 and 9 September 1940, when World War II had begun and London was subjected to aerial bombing, and is a tribute to the solidarity of not just those engaged in service, but among the British people as a whole.
