What A Dispatch from Reuters Is About
The film tells how news was carried in the nineteenth century through the life of Julius Reuter. He works first with carrier pigeons, then, once the telegraph line is up, he puts the news on the wire and founds a news agency. The real resistance he meets is not technical but the failure of people to see what it is worth to have a report first hand. The account runs in the shape of a life story and builds the founding moment of a trade as an absorbing tale of business. Edward G. Robinson plays the lead in William Dieterle’s ninety minute American film, completed in 1940.
