The Paradine Case
. . . I missed it . . . okay, the fine arts radio station here in Chicago was going to feature the music from The Paradine Case---it's an hour show that usually features music from films or TV---the better quality stuff . . . okay, so, is the soundtrack to Hitchcock's magnus opus available? Does anyboy out there know? . . .
I am not sure yet. I contacted IUCAT about The Paradine Case. Its possible that this can be 132 minutes version. But they aren't sure.
But they told me that they will give a reply in a week and a half about the length of the film.
So I am just waiting for the reply.
. . . sony, you should be given an award for the great research you're doing . . . I hope the 132 minute version is available . . . however, what about the musical soundtrack, the score----is that available anywhere? And keep up the good work---maybe some day a DVD will be available for the 132 minute version---if such exists . . .
shareActually the 132 minutes version still exists. This was the reply of Motion Picture and Television Reading Room.
"Our collection contains a 35mm nitrate print and a 16mm reference printof THE PARADINE CASE. The nitrate print is approximately 11880 ft inlength or 132 minutes."
David S. Bradley had 3 film reels of The Paradine Case. It is also possible that this version can be the original cut directed by Hitchcock (3 hours).

There was a music CD for The Paradine Case by Varese Sarabande in 1990. But the music of the film according to the CD was exactly 12 minutes. It was a part of Franz Waxman Volumes.
Luckily few hours ago, I was able to get the full music. I uploaded it here.
Its only around 23 MB. Here is the link.
