Walking on Air is a typical 1930s situational comedy that relies on conventional genre clichés. While the female protagonist drives the plot through deception, the film adheres to the social norms of its time. The narrative lacks complexity in terms of race and ethnicity, focusing instead on European class distinctions. It serves as escapist entertainment rather than a critique of societal hierarchies.
