Although Mrs. Paradine claims she is innocent, all of the evidence seems to indicate her guilt. Of course, Keane takes on the case, but finds defending Mrs. Paradine more difficult than he expected, especially when she begins placing obstacles in his path. All of the suspenseful sequences involving the investigation and the trial work much better, because they showcase Hitchcock's strengths as a director. The transfer is very sharp and highly detailed, which shows off the beauty of Lee Garmes glossy, glamorous cinematography. The backs are ever so deep and velvety, plus the whites are pure and totally stable.
Contrast is rich and the image produces many wonderful subtle shades of gray.
The film element used for the transfer is in excellent shape, displaying relatively minor blemishes at reel changes. Film grain is hardly ever noticeable. Digital compression artifacts are well concealed throughout the presentation. The Dolby Digital monaural soundtrack is free from any form of noticeable distortions and is very nicely recorded for a film released in 1947. Dialogue reproduction is crisp and completely intelligible.
