路透传 (1940)
A Dispatch from Reuters
In 19th-century England, German journalist Paul Julius Reuter and his partner, Max Wagner, utilize messenger pigeons to connect telegraph stations across Europe. As time passes and technology outdates his system, Reuter invents a wire system that transmits news stories directly to newspapers. But when a rival creates a faster means, Reuter must transmit high-profile news to stay on top of the industry.

趣闻
A Dispatch from Reuters is a 1940 biographical film about Paul Reuter, the man who built the famous news service that bears his name. The film was directed by William Dieterle and stars Edward G. Robinson.
Production
The project's working titles were The Man from Fleet Street and The Man Reuter, but the title was changed to A Dispatch from Reuters in July 1940 at the suggestion of the film's director William Dieterle, who felt that titles for biographical films typically lacked intrigue.
In preparation for filming a scene in which a hawk pursues a carrier pigeon, bird handlers were concerned with the hawk overtaking and killing the pigeon, so they used both a tame hawk and a wild one and slowed the wild hawk's speed using weights attached to its body. However, it was the pigeon who chased both hawks, so the chase scene was shortened.
