Again, it&#8217;s not that the images are in themselves bad; it&#8217;s just that they are inaptly applied to the situations in which the characters find themselves. For instance, angles are skewed in an attempt to add tension to banal scenes, an approach made worse by William Alwyn&#8217;s melodramatic musical score, which stands in stark contrast [...]]]></description>

Michèle Morgan, Ralph Richardson in The Fallen Idol

By Dan Schneider of Cosmoetica:
The 1948 drama The Fallen Idol is the third film  I&#8217;ve seen by British filmmaker Carol Reed. I&#8217;d previously watched the dreadful Oscar-winning musical Oliver!
