The point of this thread is the number of films about the Korean War made
while it was still going on.  I note a couple of movies in your list which
qualify, but only a couple;  the overwhelming majority are from after the
Armistice.  The point on this is that we would expect Hollywood to rush out
topical movies on a topical theme:  as the American populace really wasn't
aware of the Korean War while it was in progress, Hollywood didn't see
major dollars in producing movies on that theme in '50 or '51 or '52.
