A Dispatch from Reuters (1940)

Directed by William Dieterle. With Edward G. Robinson, Edna Best, Eddie Albert, Albert Bassermann.

1940 biographical film about Paul Reuter, the man who built the famous news service that bears his name. Starting with a small flock of carrier pigeons, nineteenth-century entrepreneur Julius Reuter turns his small company into Europe's most respected news wire service.

Twenty years later Robinson said he particularly enjoyed working on the film because of the insight it gave him into Reuters and because it provided such a welcome break from gangster roles.
