Re: Paradine Case (The) (1947)
I'd say that of all the DVD editions of The Paradine Case this US release is the winner

Re: Paradine Case (The) (1947)
Thanks, Erlend; I realise now this is the DVD I intended when I mistakenly submitted Spellbound instead! I was compiling corrections notes for all four Hitchcock-Selznick films simultaneously and got the discs mixed up!
All pre-DVD releases feature a print of the US 1956 re-release version with altered distributor credits.
All releases from DVD onwards have a 1999 restoration, while the MGM/Foxes, Kinos and Carlottas have a HD remaster of it.
There's a brand new, 2025 restoration that's expected to be released by Kino, replacing their now expensive, long-deleted discs.
Another item is the Spanish DVD ASIN: B01GXE3Y4A.
There are a lot of bootlegs of this film on all formats, so you might want to add the others' copyright and boot footnotes.
