A Dispatch From Reuters

Exemplary Warners biopic casts Edward G. Robinson as 19th-century communications baron Paul Reuter, and follows his life and times from his ambitious start-up of a small carrier pigeon service to his embrace of the emerging telegraph technology and the controversy-steeped creation of his global economy-changing news service. Sturdy drama co-stars Edna Best, Eddie Albert, Gene Lockhart, Otto Kruger. 90 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
