Deception (1946)

A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 2000 Filmcritic.com

Three big stars (or rather, two big stars and Paul Henreid) can't overact their way out of this mess, a noirish tale about musicians and egomania that's long on talk and short on substance. Deception does prove one thing, though: Even the "classics" aren't always all that classic.
