Two Sisters From Boston [VHS]
Kathryn Grayson and June Allyson areTwo Sisters from Boston— and the toast of the New York City bar scene — in this playful turn-of-the-century musical classic.  Abigail Chandler (Grayson) is known throughout the bowery as pretty little songbird High-C Susie, but her very proper Boston relatives think she's an accomplished opera singer. So, when the family comes to town to watch her perform, Abigail must try to pass herself off as the superstar of the Met while her little sister Martha (Allyson) takes her place at the beer hall. Can a plan like this bring the girls anything but trouble? It can if Abigail manages to escape the wrath of the great Ostrum (Wagnerian legend Lauritz Melchior) when she pops out from the chorus and improvises cadenzas during his aria!  With song-filled antics galore and a hilarious performance from the man with a heart as big as his nose (Jimmy Durante in his first dancing role),Two Sisters from Bostonis “one of the smoothest, most delightful comedies” (L. A. Examiner) in Hollywood musical history.
