Radio review - Lux - "Vivacious Lady" (1941) **1/2

Don Ameche and Alice Faye don't quite make ideal substitutions for James Stewart and Ginger Rogers - Ameche is a bit too classy and civilised, so it isn't as much a shock he marries a showgirl as it was for aw shucks Jimmy; likewise Faye seems so nice and friendly, she lacks Rogers' slightly hard show girl edge that she brought to the role. Story wise this has problems - the gimmick is a professor marries a show girl but is embarrassed about it... for act two he hides the marriage which emasculates the lead. Actually he hides it for a lot of act three. It's bright and amiable enough and probably would have made a good musical.
