"A Dispatch From Reuter's" is best viewed by fans of the inimitable Edward G. Robinson, who turns in one of his usual excellent performances as Julius Reuter. The thin plot and sappy romance are best forgotten however. The usual supporting cast of Warner's does a credible job considering the deficiencies of the script. The notable exception is the always repulsive and completely untalented Eddie Albert, featured here as Reuter's assistant, Max Wagner, an apparent moron who is even dumber and more hapless than Gilligan from "Gilligan's Island". He manages to completely ruin every scene he's in. One would have to wonder why a smart guy like Reuter would hire such a complete boob.
