Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Deception is a 1946 film directed by Irving Rapper.Christine Radcliffe (Bette Davis) is a professional piano player. At the opening of the film she attends a recital by a cellist, Karel Novak (Paul Henreid). It seems that Christine and Karel were lovers years ago, before the war, but with the outbreak of World War II they were separated. Christine tried to get Karel over to America, but failed, and eventually she came to believe he was dead. Their reunion is joyful and they are married immediately.This does not please famous composer Alexander Hollenius (Claude Rains), because Christine was his kept woman. Hollenius avoids the temptation to tell Karel about his relationship with Christine, but instead sets out to undermine Paul and Christine's marriage and Paul's career in a more devious way. Christine for her part tells Karel a series of increasingly absurd lies regarding her fancy apartment with its skylight and grand piano and closet full of fur coats. Gullible Karel believes all, but Hollenius still looms as a threat to Christine's happiness.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Last film score composed by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, who went back to his career as a concert composer. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
| Deception (1946) / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: A random woman says "Christine you must be the happiest woman in the world" after Karel's triumphant performance, not knowing that Christine has just killed a guy and confessed to Karel. | |

Famous, Famous, Fictional: When asked in an early scene what composers he admires, Karel names Strauss, Stravinsky, and Hollenius. Of course the first two are real while the third is Christine's sugar daddy. | |

"Friends" Rent Control | |
| Deception (1946) / int_fb4c41b4 | comment |
"Friends" Rent Control: Discussed and ultimately averted. It seems like this trope may be in effect when Christine welcomes Karel to her palatial apartment right after she claims she was a Starving Artist. However Karel actually notices the fur coats and the fine art and calls her out on it, which is when Christine starts lying. | |
