Downhill

«A College Hero round whom is woven a picture of Love and Treachery.»

Alfred Hitchcock · 106 min · United Kingdom

When school captain Roddy Berwick takes the blame for his friend’s scandal, he is expelled and disowned by his family. Cast out of his privileged world, Roddy drifts through a series of humiliations—from waiter to penniless actor to gigolo—descending ever further into ruin and self-disgust.
