The Bells is a 1926 American crime film directed by James Young, starring Lionel Barrymore and featuring Boris Karloff.^[1] The story had been performed on the stage in the 19th century by Sir Henry Irving as The Bells.

Footage from The Bells was used in the short film Light Is Calling by Bill Morrison.
