A Place in the Sun (1951) (Paramount Presents #22)

I hope this eventual US release includes the original mono mix. The Imprint/Via Vision only includes that garbage "5.1" remix from the DVD and a 2.0 down-mix. The 4K master is generally fine though the first 30 minutes seem to be from a dupier source and the "management" reminds me a bit of Fox's B&W Kazan films.

Speaking of that Kazan set, how do Man on a Tightrope and Pinky look? Those are the two that aren't available elsewhere. And does A Tree Grows in Brooklyn look any better than Eureka's release which has DNR and contrast issues?

I haven't given either a spin yet but I'll report back in the Kazan set thread. I did look at "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" and it's the exact same master that Eureka used.
