Stepping on face in shoes

Just saw old short yesterday on Turner Classic Movies. Title is "Show Business" and it was made in 1932. Starring Thelma Todd, who died in 1935, officially a suicide, but many think she was murdered by gangsters. Todd and Zasu Pitts own a trained monkey and they have to take a train to their next job. While Todd is trying to climb into her train berth, she steps all over a guy's face, wearing strappy high heel sandals. Scene is much like that with Claudette Colbert who steps on guy's face when climbing into berth in later "The Palm Beach Story." I did not have my VCR going at the time and this may be difficult to track down, being an old short (20 minutes) but I thought it worth mentioning.
