They Got Me Covered is a 1943 American comedy thriller film directed by David Butler and starring Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour.

In mid 1941, acclaimed Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper reporter Robert "Kit" Kittredge returns to the U.S. from his position as their Moscow correspondent.

He is fired for his incompetency by his editor, Norman Mason, the minute he comes back, since he has neglected to report that Germany recently has invaded Russia.

He outlines a spy organisation and their plans to perform terror attacks on the city by combined German, Italian and Japanese saboteurs.

There he finds a gypsy woman who shows him to a private room on the second floor, where two spies await - Olga and Otto Fauscheim.

They manage to drug Kit with a doped cigarette and when he is knocked out makes him marry one of the showgirls, Gloria the Glow Girl, at the night club.

Kit takes on the agents and manages to hold them off until Christina's roommates, photogs and g-men barge-in, including Ted and his Marine buddies.

Bosley Crowther of The New York Times wrote that the film "doesn't quite measure up in plot or speed to some of Mr. Hope's previous excursions in melodramatic farce.

But there are side-splitting moments in it and one dandy sequence, at least, in which Bob has a weird conversation with a murderous maniac played by Donald Meek.

"[6] Harrison's Reports declared, "Despite a good production, and hard work by the members of the cast, 'They Got Me Covered' never rises much above the level of fair entertainment.

"[7] David Lardner of The New Yorker wrote that Hope's "gags are of his usual standard, which is reasonably high, and he continues to rattle them off as smoothly as anyone in that line of work.
