Win Ealing Studios Classic Comedy Drama, the Bells Go down on Blu-Ray

To celebrate the release of a brand-new 4K restoration of Ealing Studios’ classic Blitz set comedy drama, THE BELLS GO DOWN, STUDIOCANAL is offering two readers the opportunity to win a copy of the film on Blu-Ray when it is released on DVD, Blu-Ray and Digital platforms on June 24.

An important part of Ealing Studios’ legacy, THE BELLS GO DOWN, directed by Basil Dearden (The Green Man, The Gentle Gunman) and produced by Michael Balcon (The Ladykillers, Kind Hearts and Coronets), is a masterful and vividly authentic depiction of the work of the A.F.S (The Auxiliary Fire Service) that, in a revolutionary move, utilized genuine footage of London in the grip of the Blitz.

Starring the music hall hero Tommy Trinder (Fiddlers Three, Sailors Three) in a rare straight role, a young James Mason (North by Northwest, Lolita), Philip Friend (Buccaneer’s Girl, Spy Hunt) and even a future television Doctor in William Hartnell (‘Doctor Who?, Brighton Rock), the film captures the urgency of the era and serves as a rare historical document of a city in the grip of war.
