Paul Henreid: Bette Davis
built 658 days ago
Bette Davis's old cigarette buddy, Paul Henreid, embarked on an alternate career as a film director in the 1950s. Unfortunately, none of the films he shaped in that capacity won Oscars or turned up on any recent American Film Institute lists, but some of the films are at least distinguished for their promising titles, notably Girls on the Loose and Live Fast Die Young (both 1958). Mr. Henreid, it should be noted... directed Ralph Meeker in 1956's A Woman's Devotion and Bette Davis herself in 1964's Dead Ringer. As for Miss Provine, she co-starred in The Alaskans (1959-1960) and The Roaring Twenties (1960-1962), both for TV, and returned to the big screen for 1963's Wall of Noise, co-starring with Suzanne Pleshette, Ty Hardin and Ralph Meeker. Although Miss Provine generally played wholesome good girls, the still above indicates she could have spent the 1960s playing the characters that had been more or less abandoned by Gloria Grahame.

Brilliant plastic surgeon Philip Ritter (Paul Henreid) loses the love of his life, concert pianist Alice Brent (Lizabeth Scott), to her manager, David (Andre Morell). As a balm to his wounded pride, Dr. Ritter Henreid makes over a hideously scarred female criminal into the spitting image of the woman who jilted him (the girl is played by Mary McKenzie "before," and, of course, by Lizabeth Scott "after"). Alas, he cannot make over her personality as well, and soon she's run off with her own crooked crowd. A not-bad precursor to Hitchcock's Vertigo, A Stolen Face was produced by Britain's Hammer Films, and distributed in the U.S. by Lippert. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

It stars Bette Davis, Paul Henreid and Claude Rains who had ... appeared together in the highly successful Now, Voyager (1942). Despite their earlier success as a team, and generally positive reviews, Deception proved to be an expensive exercise for its producers. With high production costs and modest cinema patronage, it became the first Bette Davis film to lose money. [1]

"Plot [from a play by Louis Verneuil] concerns deception practiced by Davis to prevent husband Henreid from discovering that she had been the mistress of Rains before her marriage. Henreid, refugee cellist, is a jealous man whose temperamental instability is reason for the wife's deception. Pickup to story comes with Rains's entrance and his mad jealousy over his desertion by his mistress. To him falls juicy plums in the form of dialog and situations that carry the story along.
