Caught in the Draft is a 1941 American comedy film directed by David Butler and starring Bob Hope, Dorothy Lamour and Eddie Bracken.

[2] [3] Don Bolton, a vain movie star who fears being drafted into the military, suffers an aversion to loud noises -- even fake gunshots on the set.

On one occasion, Col. Peter Fairbanks visits the studio as technical consultant on a war film.

But the result proves disastrous; the men on the opposing team now follow a route into a live artillery range.

[4] The film was a big hit and became Paramount's second most successful release of 1941 after Louisiana Purchase, also starring Bob Hope.
