The Hollywood Victory Caravan was a two-week cross-country railroad journey in 1942 that brought together two dozen film stars to raise money for the Army and Navy Relief Society.

[1] At the end of World War II, a short film was commissioned from Paramount Pictures by the United States Department of the Treasury, to promote the purchase of Victory Bonds.

[2] Seven starlets included Karin Booth, Alma Carroll, Frances Gifford, Elyse Knox, Marie McDonald, Fay McKenzie, Juanita Stark and Arleen Whelan.

"[5] A comedic 19-minute short film starring Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, plus other celebrities who were not on the actual road trip, was released in October 1945 by Paramount Pictures and the United States Department of the Treasury to promote the purchase of Victory Bonds.

Pity for her plight is appreciated by a bevy of screen stars, members of the 'Hollywood Victory Caravan,' bound for the nation’s capital, and, to make room for her on the train, Bob Hope agrees much against his will, to share a bunk with Bing Crosby.

These sequences are potent laugh-makers ... Crosby and the U.S. Maritime Service Training Station Choir introduce the Victory Loan song, 'We’ve Got Another Bond to Buy'—and it’s rousing stuff.
