Rare Hope/Lamour Pairing - Caught in the Draft
This is the first pairing of Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour without Bing Crosby. It is funny, but the comedy is better when Bing is part of the equation. The Army takes the place of Bing in this one, and the Army can be pretty funny at times. I like the gag that Hope cannot stand loud noises and is in the military. There were three great comedy teams during this time period; Laurel and Hardy (who were close to the end of the great run), Abbott and Costello (who were just beginning their great run) and Bob Hope and Bing Crosby with their wonderful road pictures). What made Bob Hope films at this time, different from the other two comedy teams was his dominance with one-liners; no one could match Hope with one-liners. The other two teams did better physical comedy, but the Hope films had better scripts and situations. Be sure to catch this one with the whole family for an hour of fun.
