Deception
Bette Davis, Paul Henreid, and Claude Rains ignite the screen in this tense postwar melodrama of love, lies, and music. When a brilliant pianist rekindles a romance with her long-lost lover, the possessive composer who once controlled her refuses to let go—leading to a crescendo of jealousy and betrayal. Featuring Korngold’s lush, original cello concerto, Deception is a sumptuous classic where passion and obsession collide.
