Deception movie trailer (1946) - Plot synopsis: World War II separated pianist Christine Radcliffe from her great love, cellist Karel Novak. Unexpectedly reunited with Karel, Christine desperately strives to hide her wartime dalliance as the mistress of a wealthy, sadistic composer. She'll lie to keep her shameful past a secret. But will she also murder? The three stars (Bette Davis, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains) and director (Irving Rapper) of Now, Voyager reunite for this glamorous, angst-ridden melodrama set to a thrilling Erich Wolfgang Korngold score.
