When the Wind Blows

“...it's no fairy tale.”

A radio announcer says war may be coming, and in a quiet English house nobody quite knows what that means. Jim Bloggs (John Mills) and his wife Hilda (Peggy Ashcroft) follow the government pamphlets step by step, building a shelter and trusting their memories of the last war. Jimmy T. Murakami adapts Raymond Briggs's graphic novel, setting hand-drawn figures against detailed model backgrounds.
