Nancy Drew... Reporter is a 1939 American film directed by William Clemens and starring Bonita Granville as Nancy Drew.
The film was produced by Warner Bros, but has since slipped into the public domain and is available on home video in a number of issues in addition to Warner's official DVD set containing the other three films as well (which are still copyrighted).
With the death of Dickie Jones on July 7, 2014, there are no surviving cast members of the movie.
