Brit Noir Series: The Fallen Idol at Heights Theater
1948’s Carol Reed/Graham Greene collaboration The Fallen Idol is a near-masterpiece that works a simple suspense story into a resonant study of how children mature by making painful mistakes. Bobby Henrey stars as a diplomat’s child whose friendship with butler Ralph Richardson is shaken when he first stumbles into Richardson’s clandestine lunch date with a strange woman and later witnesses him getting into a violent argument with his wife that ends with her lying dead at the bottom of the stairs.
