The inclusion of DECEPTION reminded me that this was a remake of JEALOUSY, a 1929 film that starred the legendary stage actress Jeanne Eagles. According to imdb that is a "lost" film, but at one time, it was mentioned that WB would be bringing out the 1929 Jeanne Eagles version of THE LETTER, but with one upgrade of the Davis THE LETTER, nothing has been heard about this since. DANGEROUS was inspired by the life of the real Jeanne Eagles.
