I didn’t take a look the last time Garrick was on, Doghouse6, so I don’t really have any reference point, but the audio was fine for me. Sorry I can’t be any more precise!
I too had never seen a Deanna Durbin picture before, and I liked her just as much as you did. I’m not so sure how much I’d like her earlier musicals, but I’m going to have to check out Siodmak’s Christmas Holiday one of these days. I didn’t mean to give the impression that I disliked the songs, but I did dislike how the picture stopped in its tracks for them. Still, not a serious flaw. And it is indeed an excellent cast.
I haven't seen One More River, though I’d like to—Whale’s one of my favorite directors, though it’s difficult to get to see what he did other than the horror pictures. I was delighted when TCM put on his Man in the Iron Mask several months ago; I think it’s my favorite adaptation of the story (also with some excellent Whale touches, especially when Philippe is being thrown in the dungeon—clear call-backs to Bride.)
...a feisty, saucy and very appealing screen presence.
