Trügerische Leidenschaft (1946)

Trügerische Leidenschaft: Directed by Irving Rapper. With Bette Davis, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, John Abbott. After marrying her long lost love, a musician finds the relationship threatened by a wealthy composer who is besotted with her.

“I have just finished reading all of the comments here and now let me add my two cents worth. This is my all time favorite Davis opus and it is certainly not because of the high quality of her performance. See Davis at her best in The Letter. What Deception is is a high powered duel between flamboyant personalities (Davis and Rains) wiping their costar (Henreid) right off the screen. The restaurant scene deserves all the mention it got here previously, but how about mink coated Bette confronting Rains in his bed reading Dick Tracy? The screen crackles with vitriol. This is over the top screen acting at itu0026#39;s most enjoyable.If youu0026#39;ve never seen this, take the opportunity and enjoy it for what it is: good old fashioned Hollywood entertainment.”
