An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41 1/4" [69 x 105 cm]) (Learn More) International News was one of the series of newsreels released by Universal Studios from at least the early 1920s through 1967. The earliest newsreels we know of were called "International News", and Universal made one-sheets for those that had a series of headlines on them, but no image except for a cool border design (each newsreel ran from 7 to 10 minute newsreels that were released twice a week). Nearly all of them were filmed in black and white, and many were narrated by Ed Herlihy. In the 1930s and 1940s, they were called "Universal News Reel" and the posters for those also had headlines, and sometimes small images. In the 1950s and 1960s, they were called "Universal-International News". In 1976, the films' owner, MCA, made the unusual decision to turn over ownership of all of the newsreels to the National Archives. The decision effectively ended Universal's copyright claim, releasing the films into the public domain. Because royalties no longer have to be paid in order to broadcast them, Universal Newsreels have become a popular source of file footage in recent years.
