Fallen Idol

The story takes place in an embassy. In the eyes of a little boy, Philip (Bobby Henrey), the butler Bennet (Ralph Richardson) is a real hero. The reason for this can be traced back to Philip's parents who were often away from home. When his parents were away, the responsibility of caring for and supervising Philip naturally fell on Benny. At a sensitive and innocent age like Philip, a person who took care of everything for him was equivalent to an omnipotent hero. But is Benny really as upright and brave as Philip thinks? Of course not, he is just an ordinary adult. Although he already has a family, Bennetz still maintains an affair with a young woman named Julie (Michèle Morgan Michèle Morgan). He even secretly took Julie to Philip for a tryst at the embassy when her parents were not at home. Unexpectedly, an accident took the life of Mrs. Bennis. In Philip's view, this simple accident was a deliberate murder.
