I'm a little bit lost here. The following sentence is about a film critic
(Tsuchiya Yoshio) and the Yomiuri Shimbun. But I'm not sure about the
meaning..

> 読売新聞であれば、土屋好生のような映画評論家が批評するか、あるいは記者が署名入りで一本の映画を紹介・批評しています。

Does it say something like this:

> critic (Tsuchiya Yoshio) is publishing single movie critical reviews under
> his name

The ...署名入りで... part is a bit tricky for me.

How to understand this sentence about film reviews in Japanese newspapers?
No, that is not what it says, I am afraid. To understand this sentence, one
would need to have basic knowledge of how newspaper articles are written in
Japan. I shall come back to this point later.

>
> 「[読売新聞]{よみうりしんぶん}であれば、[土屋好生]{つちやよしお}のような[映画評論家]{えいがひょうろんか}が[批評]{ひひょう}するか、あるいは[記者]{きしゃ}が[署名入]{しょめいい}りで[一本]{いっぽん}の[映画]{えいが}を[紹介]{しょうかい}・[批評]{ひひょう}しています。」

It says that **_two groups of people_** do film critiques in Yomiuri
Newspaper. ← The main point of the sentence!

Group 1: 土屋好生のような映画評論家 "film critics such as Yoshio Tsuchiya"

Group 2: 記者 "(regular) newspaper reporters"

> 「署名入り」 means "bylined".

Unlike in some other countries, most Japanese newspaper articles are
traditionally written without the names of the reporters. According to the
sentence in question, film critiques are always bylined in Yomiuri. This is
why it says 「記者が署名入りで」.

It is implying that when a professional film critic does a critique for
Yomiuri (if not for other newspapers), it is naturally bylined. Additionally,
even when a regular reporter does a film critique, it is also bylined (unlike
with the regular articles that s/he usually writes for Yomiuri).

「一本の」 here does not mean much. Think of it as "a" or "one (by one)".
