Absorbing acting and filming, top of their games in an aging musical genre
Deception (1946)

A marvelous chamber piece, in a way, involving orchestral music. The cast begins with two principals, played with usual intensity by Bette Davis and with usual restraint by Paul Henreid. This broods a bit and suggests trouble, and then comes the third player, who outdoes them both, in the form of Claude Rains. The rest of the movie is an interplay between the three, a push and pull and game of dodging and, of course, deception.

So how to judge this kind of tightly woven enterprise? It feels as though William Wyler could have directed it, so polished and rich it all is. But this is a Warner Brothers drama, so there is another kind of layer of dark danger, and of a noir inspired lighting and camera-work. This visual aspect, in a way, is the real star of the film, which says a lot, considering the high level of acting involved.

In all it’s purely an entertainment, but at the highest level. The backdrop of classic music and classical musicians hasn’t worn well over the years, but I grew up with this kind of scene and it brought back a lot of those vibes. A terrific movie within its own genre.

“Remember, folks, when you spell ‘Drawrof’ backward . . . ”
” . . . it spells ‘Forward,'” rattles off the glib cleaning product radio spot announcer midway through DECEPTION. That sentence sums up this flick perfectly. It harks back to Hollywood’s infamous Pre-Code Days, when a married couple could conspire to get away with the cold-blooded murder of their wealthy benefactor and walk away light-of-heart, free as birds, without a care in the world, counting up their ill-gotten booty as the slain Founder of their Feast collects blow flies in a pool of blood on his grand staircase. J.K. Simmons of WHIPLASH fame wouldn’t last 10 minutes if Bette Davis was still around to contest his Beat. As soon as Ms. Davis waltzes into Alfred Hitchcock’s Death Penthouse from ROPE and sits down at that Piano of Doom, it’s clear that someone’s biting the dust sooner rather than later. Ms. Davis’ Musical Love-Triangled “Christine” seems much more of an inspiration for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s PHANTOM Christine than the one of that 1800s French writer guy. Speaking of music, DECEPTION score composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold demonstrates how to condense Claude Rains’ cello concerto, boiling it down to four minutes. This, after Korngold cuts the Second Movement of Beethoven’s Seventh to 70 seconds, far less than it takes in a concert hall, or even its running time in THE FALL. It’s all enough to make one wonder whether Bette’s “Ilsa” would have gunned down Bogart’s Rick in CASABLANCA. After all, “Drawrof” spelled backward is “Forward!”
