An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 40") (Learn More) Universal News Reel Vol. XVI, No. 246, the early 1940s news short ("The Talk of the World"; "Anywhere Anytime"; "The Newspaper Newsreel with the Talking Reporter") featuring headlines such as "Bombers Over Europe", "Mussolini Rescued", "Sawdust 'Gasoline'", "Squirt Guns Pelt Zeroes", and scores for college football games between Navy and Army, and Great Lakes and Irish, "and other news thrills". Universal News Reel was one of the series of newsreels released by Universal Studios from at least the early 1920s through 1967. The earliest newsreels we know of were called "International News", and Universal made one-sheets for those that had a series of headlines on them, but no image except for a cool border design. In the 1930s and 1940s, they were called "Universal News Reel" and those also had headlines, and sometimes small images. Nearly all of them were filmed in black and white, and many were narrated by Ed Herlihy. In the 1950s and 1960s, they were called "Universal-International News". In 1976, the films' owner, MCA, made the unusual decision to turn over ownership of all of the newsreels to the National Archives. The decision effectively ended Universal's copyright claim, releasing the films into the public domain. Because royalties no longer have to be paid in order to broadcast them, Universal Newsreels have become a popular source of file footage in recent years.
