Fox Cinema Archives MOD

Hi!
I've aquired and viewed these two Jean Peters films from the Fox MOD series:
It Happens Every Spring (1949) B & W, dir. Lloyd Bacon
Wait 'Til the Sun Shines, Nellie (1952) color, dir. Henry King
The 1949 movie seems to have been made from an older master, but it's a sharp picture. It's very good. I was very pleased.
The 1952 one is another matter. Though it's not as bad as I feared, it is clear that the transfer is way too dark. This one also, most probably, comes from a dated master.
One scene which was supposed to take place at night, I believe, is so dark you can't see the characters' faces.
I did some tweaking of the image on my player and it got a bit better, but not by much.
