London Can Take It!	comment	London Can Take It! is a 1940 documentary short film (10 minutes) directed by Humphrey Jennings and Harry Watt.It is a British propaganda film about the Blitz, the German night bombing campaign against London in fall 1940. The short begins with Londoners getting off work and heading for air raid shelters. Night falls, and sure enough, the Luftwaffe comes over London again. Searchlights light the skies, anti-aircraft guns fire, and firemen race around trying to keep fires under control. Come the morning, and the city goes about its day, the people of London going back to work.

London Can Take It! / int_18d15922	comment	Title Drop: The short ends with a shot of the famous Richard the Lionheart statue and Westminster, with the statue damaged and glass knocked out of the window behind.note The House of Commons was later wrecked by a direct hit in one of the last big German bombing raids, May 1941.. As the camera shows damage to the statue the narration says bombing "cannot kill the unconquerable spirit and courage of the people of London. London can take it."

London Can Take It! / int_281de59f	comment	Extremely Short Timespan: Supposedly 16 hours or so, given that the film starts with quitting time in the evening, portrays a German bombing raid, and then shows the damage the next morning.
