ABSTRACT
In July 1950, within days of the start of the Korean War, hundreds of 16mm prints of Hollywood feature and short films and more than fifty film projectors were rushed from Japan to U.S. Army and United Nations troops in the field. With many thousands of movies and over one thousand new projectors eventually sent from the United States, the Motion Picture Division of the Army’s General Headquarters, Far Eastern Command, went to great lengths to entertain the troops with some of the latest commercial releases—such as Sunset Boulevard (1950), The Next Voice You Hear (1950), The Black Rose (1950), and Father of the Bride (1950)—as well as Disney animations and current newsreels of the war. 2
