If you're looking for more, The Americanization of Emily is a contender. Yankee Doodle Dandy covers a longer period, but its wraparound is set during WW II, and crafted for inspiration at that time.

Flevel, could you ask your question to the description in your list?
Otherwise, if this goes live people won't know what they need to answer.
