An Original Vintage Movie Printing Plate (advertising; measures approximately 1" x 1 1/2" x 2 1/2") (Learn More) A Dispatch From Reuters (also released as "This Man Reuter"), the 1940 William Dieterle (this is the last of five biographical movies Dieterle directed for Warner Bros) historical news transmission biography melodrama ("No man knows him... Yet his shadow covers the world!"; "...Here comes 'A Dispatch from Reuters'... Mystery man behind history's greatest headlines!..."; "From a story by Valentine Williams & Wolfgang Wilhelm"; the true story of Julius Reuter, who founded the famous news agency) starring Edward G. Robinson (in the title role as Julius Reuter), Edna Best, Eddie Albert, Albert Basserman, Gene Lockhart, Otto Kruger, Nigel Bruce, Montagu Love, and James Stephanson. Reuters was the first of the great international news agencies. It made no sense for newspapers all over the world to have to try to find out news beyond their local area, when one agency could perform that work for every newspaper, and then they would subscribe to the agency's "news feed". This worked wonderfully from the mid 1800s until the birth of the Internet, which created a new way for news to be dispatched all over the world. But at its peak, Reuters and the other top news agencies employed thousands of people all over the world seeking out the news, and then reporting on it, and their reports were carried in thousands of newspapers all over the world.
