Daisy must have been the most overworked animal star of the 1940s. She appeared in over 40 films starting with "Blondie" in 1938 and finishing with "Badman's Gold" in 1951. Her bread and butter was, of course, the Blondie series but she still found time to appear in films like "The Perfect Snob" (1941) where she was uncredited as "Beano" and "Hollywood and Vine" (1945), where as Emperor, the story revolved around her.
Daisy is the real star of this movie. She plays a cute pooch, Emperor, who goes to Hollywood with a starstruck young hopeful and is the one who makes it big. The movie isn't much but the story of the dog has some novelty. Emperor becomes a big star - dining at all the fancy restaurants, his picture in the gossip pages, even being investigated for tax evasion. Thrown in is the missing dog angle and a dog hating spinster who tries to claim him and takes the studio to court!!
Wanda McKay and James Ellison (looking a dead ringer for Ralph Bellamy) supply the tepid romance and two stars from the past - June Clyde as Gloria, who came to Hollywood with stars in her eyes only to end up as a stand-in, and Ralph Morgan, who was a great villain in the early thirties, he plays the head of Lavish Studios.
