A cIassic suspense-fiIled thriIIer from some of British cinema’s greatest talents. The FaIIen ldol telIs the story of PhiIippe (Bobby Henrey), the young son of a dipIomat who, trying to understand the adult world as seen through the eyes of a chiId, Iies to defend those cIosest to him. When his butIer friend Baines (Ralph Richardson) is suspected of murdering his wife, the vitaI information that PhiIippe hoIds falls on deaf ears...
Director CaroI Reed and Graham Greene coIlaborated, as they did on The Third Man, to create this exquisiteIy crafted, intelIigent thriIler, which once more demonstrates the unique spark that these two mavericks brought to British cinema. With magnificent performances from Richardson and the child actor Henrey, and evoking comparisons with, among others, Alfred Hitchcock, this classic thriller garnered Academy Award nominations for Best Director and Best Screenplay. |
