9/10
Great fun!

"Vivacious Lady" is a prime example of 1930s comedy-romance. I only wish that they would release it to video--as it is, I have to watch for it on TCM. Be that as it may, this film is well worth the effort. Stewart and Rogers have great chemistry, especially in the scene where they are both trying to come up with reasons for her not to go to the station. All the character actors are in top form, especially Grady Sutton as "Culpepper". His "moments of ecstacy and delight" speech is hilarious, as is his defense of Texas, "Yessir, I am, God bless her!" I also thought the "catfight" scene between Helen and Ginger Rogers' character was outstanding. The dialogue is snappy, the cast is outstanding, it's just a top-notch film!
