Le Avventure E Gli Amori Di Moll Flanders - Paramount
Review
This is indeed the 2.35 widescreen for the first time, in a 16:9 frame. It is the cut US edition, bringing the length down from 2:06 to 1:47. The picture quality is not sharp at all.
There are Italian and English language tracks. The Italian edition contains an original male vocal over the opening titles. No extras.
It is all region, but PAL format. I don't think NTSC DVD players will display it, but your computer likely will. Dual layer.

I think the movie is alright, with lovely sets and interesting characters. Some of the attempts at humor are just too lame though, especially with Jemmy's sidekick Squint.

She [1965] - Warner Home Video
The shape of this picture is around 2.2 letterboxed within a 4:3 frame. The original film is listed as 2.35. I don't know why the difference.
I've posted an image of how the DVD displays.

Unforgettable Performances Vol.1 1950-52 - Swingtime Video
The Rita Rio Girls' Orchestra. I'm not sure if that's the same Alan Ladd as the actor. It's not the actor's voice anyway. They also used some stand-in girls who are not even playing the instruments. As a Soundie it was overdubbed.

Unforgettable Performances Vol.1 1950-52 - Swingtime Video
Review
It seems they intended this to be the first in a series titled Unforgettable Performances, but I see no sign of any further release. Their Vol. 101-120 were basically bands, while these are mainly vocals.
Video quality is very good. These were musical shorts filmed for theaters or television in the 1930s to early 1950s. I don't see followup DVD releases but these films are available in many compilations.
Nat King Cole sings Mona Lisa with makeup to make him look less black on some of these Snader films. He objected to the look and and the rest were filmed without that.
Looking at the girls, we get a Connie, a Connee, a Bonnie, and a Ginny before we get to a Teresa. The Dinning Sisters had the brother named Mark Dinning who sang Teenangel in 1960. Connie Haines' song is Duke Ellington's It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing.
Ada Leonard and Rio Rita were females leading all-girl bands. Far be it from them to just stand and swing a baton. Ada holds one but dances elegantly before the camera throughout. Rita (Dona Drake) gets vocalist Alan Ladd to hold the baton while she stands and flirts with him, and does some dancing too. She is a great looker, but not quite a pro dancer.
This tape has been the only source for Teresa Brewer's 1951 Snader film of Music Music Music. The Snaders were all recorded live, while the earlier Soundies were often dubbed and lip-synced.
