The Fallen Idol (1948) is widely considered a classic of British cinema and a masterpiece of suspenseful, character-driven filmmaking. This black-and-white thriller features exceptional performances and is highly regarded for its masterful portrayal of a child's loss of innocence.

In this terrific thriller, a butler working in London falls under suspicion when a mysterious death occurs in the house, with the only witness being an impressionable young boy who admires him deeply. The film received Oscar nominations for its direction by Carol Reed (Oliver; and The Third Man) and its script by Grahame Greene, adapting his own short story.
Reel Talk: After the screening, stay with us for a Q&A with Robert Henrey who starred in the film as a child. Since his time in the movies, Robert has settled in Greenwich and enjoyed a long career in finance, served as an interfaith chaplain at Greenwich Hospital, and written books including his memoir “Through Grown-Up Eyes: Living With Childhood Fame."
