The Fallen Idol is a 1948 British mystery thriller film directed by Carol Reed, and starring Ralph Richardson, Bobby Henrey, Michèle Morgan, and Denis O'Dea. Its plot follows the young son of a diplomat in London, who comes to suspect that his family's butler, whom he idolises, has committed a murder. It is based on the 1936 short story "The Basement Room", by Graham Greene.

Production

Filming began on 17 September 1947. The first location scene to be filmed was of Philippe running across Belgrave Square in London. The script departs significantly from the original 1936 story. In "The Basement Room," Mrs. Baines dies while struggling with her husband in a jealous rage; the mistress is not a Frenchwoman; and the boy (here simply Philip) does not deliberately lie to protect Baines.
