- TriviaDuring one of their "cold treatment" sessions Zazu Pitts was really physically straining to stay seated on a mechanical horse. She was struggling so much she needed the aid of three attendants. In a later scene she is getting a rub down and as her legs are revealed. Her bruises sustained from the previous scene can be seen along both of her shin bones.
- Quotes
Nurse: Now, you go inside and take off your clothes please.
Miss Pitts: I ain't gonna run around in the raw, cold or no cold.
Miss Todd: Oh, don't be silly. Come on.

Featured review
Important day at work, but the girls (Thelma Todd and Zasu Pitts) are home sick in a double bed with bad colds (and a bedroom full of used tissues and "bed pan"). The boss decides to send them to a Turkish Bath to be cured (Zasu: "No Turk's gonna give ME a bath!"). Soon they are being given quack treatments and riding on absurd "exercise" contraptions, assisted by a staff of platinum blondes and a big, beefy brunette - all uniformed in tank tops and tight-fitting satin shorts.
This short comedy is a hoot! With the usual assortment of comical Hal Roach Studios character actors and stock background music, plus lots of funny slapstick humor, this had me laughing out loud - plus everyone looked like they were having a real fun time making this. I really like the chemistry and camaraderie between Thelma Todd and Zasu Pitts - they work well off of each other. A fun short.
