Description

The Korean Conflict (as it is sometimes known) dramatically changed the way that 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 a largely unpopular cause.

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.

Each film entry includes complete cast and credit listings, a plot synopsis, evaluation, review snippets, and notice of video availability.

This book places each Korean War film in its historical context, assesses the essential truthfulness and relevance of each film, evaluates each film's entertainment value, and discusses how - and why - Korean War films differ from other Hollywood war genres.The book also provides information on themes and subjects that appear in the films and an outline of the war and those films which portray historical events.

The first four appendices list the films by chronology, production company and studio, level of historical accuracy and subject and theme.

The following appendices provide a listing of films with superficial or incidental references to the Korean War, a film listing of documentaries on the Korean War and a film listing of South Korean films about the Korean War.

Also included are photographs from each film and its marketing campaign, a bibliography, and an index.
