Written by a knowledgeable film critic and Korean War scholar, this
is the only guide exclusively devoted to the study of Hollywood and
television films based on the Korean War, 1950-1953. It opens with
eight short essays, discussing the appeal of the war film genre,
government and filmmaker cooperation, the isolation of Korean War
films from other war films, why John Wayne didn't make a Korean War
film, the other actors who did, the plots of Korean War films,
television and Korean War films, and the myths resulting from
films. Eighty-four films are then discussed in alphabetically
arranged entries. The entries include production unit, color
status, producer, director, screenwriter, actors and actresses,
movie length, and the author's numerical rating of the film. The
commentary places each film within the context of other war films,
the Korean War, trends in Hollywood, and the social and political
realities of the United States. The films also are listed
chronologically. Producers, directors, screenwriters, actors, and
actresses are indexed by responsibility and are included in the
general index. The book also provides a list of 109 documentary
films available for public viewing.
