The Fallen Idol (1948)
Excellent story
I just saw this movie last night at the Pacific Film Archive at UC Berkeley. Technically, the print was excellent; superb sound and picture from start to finish for a movie of this age. I completely enjoyed this movie's story from beginning to end. If you are a fan of The Third Man, I think you will enjoy this movie. For myself, I think I will make it a point to check out some more Graham Greene stories.
All of the actors were perfect in their parts, but I was most impressed with the little boy who played Phile. The way he would call after Baines and his broken heart after an episode with Mrs. Baines was amazing. Even bit parts like the prostitute at the police station were perfectly cast.
I hope you enjoy this movie as much as I did. Why is it only available on VHS, though?
On a Carol Reed note, I would love to see Odd Man Out on the big screen. Enjoy the movies!

An excellent movie I found by accident one day...
I agree with the first review of this movie wholeheartedly. This is an excellent movie to be watched over and over. The mood, the pacing, the cinematography are all world class.
I stumbled upon this gem one day while browsing through the movies in the DVD section. What a find. It can be watched on a rainy night while sipping mulled wine or early in the morning with strong, black coffee and the rising sun. I've done both with bouts of insomnia and with good results.
Please take a leap and watch this amazing journey on film.
