Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen told the police are on the premises, Billy Gilbert replies "Vas you dere, Charlie?" Jack Pearl, as Baron Munchausen, had made this line famous on the radio and later in films, and audiences of 1933 would certainly get the joke. Gilbert not only mimicked Pearl's voice, but also physically resembled him.

Featured review
Funny footwork
Hal Roach's female answer to Laurel and Hardy, Zasu Pitts and Thelma Todd get themselves in more than one fine mess in one of the better entries in the comedy team's series. Fatigued department store workers by day they come to the aid of a neighbor facing eviction by becoming taxi dancers to pay her rent.
Asleep in the Feet is a two set piece of non-stop slapstick with a few double entendres thrown in to keep things funny most of the way. Pitts grabs most of the laughs with her simple " Oh my dear" clueless fluster as she wrestles with a can of condensed milk and dances with a trio of bad matches. Meanwhile sexy Hot Toddy plays straight girl to obnoxious gob Eddie Dunn while Billy Gilbert grabs his share of the laughs as the ultra frustrated manager of the dance hall.
Feet also offers some fancy footwork by extras, a comic montage of surreal absurdity and in an attempt to enhance her marketability a tarted up Zasu looking like a cross between Betty Boop and Tammy Faye in what turns out to be one of the more ambitious chapters in the series.
