' The Fallen Idol' was the film title imposed by the distributors, however the scenerio was a short story , 'The Basement Room', and the African anecdotes with which the butler, Baines, regales the little boy left in his charge (the basement room is the servant's quarters). Greene had just returned from a trip to Africa to research his book 'Journey Without Maps '(1936).
