I Was A Fireman (Fires Were Started)

dir. Humphrey Jennings
UK, 1943

Amazing performances by real-life firemen (and non-actors). How they forget the camera almost, the banter, the relation between everyone in the station. Also the way the fire services work, everyone doing their job, all cogs in a machine/cause bigger than themselves.
