“Vivacious
Lady” is a Romantic Comedy, Screenplay by P.J. Wolfson and Ernest Pagano from a
Story by I.A.R. Wylie and Directed by George Stevens.
The
story begins when young University Professor Peter Morgan (James Stewart) makes
a quick trip to the city to escort his cousin Keith Morgan (James Ellison) back
to their hometown of Old Sharon.
He
finds Keith at a nightclub which he regularly frequents as he is besotted with
nightclub performer Francey Brent (Ginger Rogers), however when Peter meets
Francey he falls head over heels in love with her and they marry after a
whirlwind romance.
But
when he goes back home, he has to pick his moment to tell his conservative,
ultra-respectable parents Peter Morgan, Sr. (Charles Coburn) and Martha Morgan
(Beulah Bondi).
It's
a very enjoyable movie with a typically engaging performance by Rogers and a
typically amiable one by Stewart and Willie Best as the Train Porter is
delightful.
