Go to Blazes is a short 1942 British information film, produced by the Ministry of Information, directed by Walter Forde and starring Will Hay and Thora Hird. [1]
When an incendiary bomb strikes his house during the Blitz, Hay fusses so ineptly with his extinguishing equipment that the bomb burns through the floor – and obligingly falls into a bucket of water in the basement. When a second bomb strikes, his daughter shows him how to do the job properly.
BFI Screenonline refers to it as a "wittily written information film." [2]
