Sorry, not the correct answer.

What downfall? I don't remember any downfall. Bilbo lived and went to the West, he didn't fall down.

Most curious question.

if you mean someone thought or said "bibo's downfall" you have to indicate that"

Would it be what the gossiping hobbits may have said about Gandalf's appearance in Bilbo's life? Please elucidate, Mithrandir.

Good film.

Many of the earlier Bond films had great plots with little if any special effects.

If I state that, I think I may give the answer away.

No, but I think you are getting closer to the right train of thought. (It does not involve gossiping hobbits.)

Someone did state what bilbo's downfall was. IIRC.

The answer can be found in FOTR:LOTR.

Adventures, or adventuring? The cause, I mean. Said by The Gaffer?

Good guess, but not the one I am looking for.

The Answer does not come from the Gaffer.

Maybe hanging out with dwarves was the cause of his downfall, according to the Sackville-Bagginses? Or hanging with Gandalf? Or both?

[QUOTE=mithrand1r]Correct.
p102 of 1 vol. edition; Chapter: the unmasking of the conspiracy.

See now: a) you get the colors to work for you and mine never work.
b) it's page 149 in my edition but thanks as I couldn't remember
nor find it.
