Anecdotes
Paul Henreid could not play the cello. While he was able to fake it in the long shots, to achieve the illusion in closeup, he wore a special jacket with no sleeves and holes for two real cellists to insert their arms - one to bow, and one to accurately finger the music - while seated behind him, out of shot.

Gaffes
While Christine, alone in her studio, is talking to Alexander Hollenius on the telephone, the highly visible shadow of a crew member is moving back and forth across the piano behind her.

Citations
Alexander Hollenius: [to Christine] Good evening, my dear. Why, you look positively majestic. I think I'd better remain seated.

Superb Trio in Classic of Classical Music Score

One of the few actors of Bette Davis' time who could match her screen intensity was Claude Rains. Paul Henreid is paired with Davis as her true love for another convincing romance. But, the script-stealing scene is between Davis and Rains. Matched penultimately perfect for the picture, Davis and Rains match each other's most intense acting skills during a major bedroom blow-out between them. I live to watch that scene over and again for its acting mastery.

Since Deception is about three classical music artists, the classical music score makes Deception's choice script musically enhanced to a classy degree. I love how Rains takes "the 4th Warner Brother's" acting intensity and levels it with his own. Even Bogie couldn't do that when staged with Davis! Don't miss this tightly wound triangulation with Henreid underplaying himself as his role calls for.
