Table Of ContentTable of Contents Acknowledgments Introduction The Korean Conflict: 1950-1953 The Films Appendices Bibliography Index
SynopsisThe Korean Conflict dramatically changed the way that Americans viewed war. More than 50 movies about the Korean War appeared in the 15 years after it ended, and dozens more have appeared since then. This filmography details more than 90 English - language films that chronicle or depict the Korean War and its consequences., The Korean experience changed the way Americans viewed war. The lack of a clear-cut victory inspired filmmakers to try to make sense of fighting another country's civil war and risking American lives for an unpopular cause. This filmography details more than 90 English-language films. Each entry includes complete cast and credit listings, a plot synopsis, evaluation, review snippets, and notice of video availability. This book places each film in its historical context, assesses the essential truthfulness of each film and evaluates its entertainment value, and discusses how--and why--Korean War films differ from other Hollywood war genres. Four appendices list the films by chronology; production company and studio; level of historical accuracy; and subject and theme. Additional appendices list films with incidental references to the Korean War; documentaries on the Korean War; and South Korean films about the war. Photographs, a bibliography, and an index are included.
