Cruz de Ville begins the adventure by conspiring with fashion designers to steal more helpless little dogs. The woman, who is called Cruzella, may be happy after she is released from prison because she will return to her previous activity. Her life begins after she gets out of prison when she discovers that her boyfriend, a parole officer, runs a large shelter for helpless animals. Kidney has fallen into difficult times, and Cruz tries to pretend she wants help in order to get the dogs to get her. Cruz returns to practice her horribly appalling ways without thinking about what happened before.
It's assembly-line art, colorful and professionally crafted... more imagination will probably go into the marketing of the movie than went into the making of it.
Close's combination of Norma Desmond and the Bride of Frankenstein will delight adults as much as the kids will be amused by the high jinks of the adorable puppies.
