The Fallen Idol

One of my favorite films. Philip is a lonely little rich boy ( his parents are always gone, his father having a diplomatic post) and Baines is his butler/caregiver. Baines was once an important man in Africa but now he is a servant henpecked by his cold  wife. He speaks fondly and indulgently of the Blacks (almost as children)  as he indulges Philip with cakes and ginger pop. Philip is introduced to Baines' "neice" and instructed to keep quiet, and it leads to a shocking conclusion that puts a child in a terrible position of guarding adult secrets.
