Two Sisters from Boston


Two Sisters from Boston is a 1946 musical comedy film directed by Henry Koster. Starring Kathryn Grayson, June Allyson, Lauritz Melchior, Jimmy Durante and Peter Lawford.

The English postpunk band The Chameleons used a sample from the film as the introduction to the song Dont Fall, the first song on their 1983 debut album Script of the Bridge. The scene features Lawfords character, Lawrence Tyburt Patterson, Jr., asking his mother, played by Nella Walker, about the age of his father. After she tells him that his father is younger than he looks and still spry, Patterson, Jr. says In his autumn, before the winter, comes mans last mad surge of youth. His mother quickly replies, What on earth are you talking about? These two lines consist of the sample as used by the Chameleons. Patterson, Jr. goes on to say that he is quoting the ancient Greek dramatist Sophocles, but the quote itself appears to be either apocryphal, misattributed by the screenwriters or else created by them originally. The Chameleons also used the same sample on an otherwise instrumental recording from the same period, Prisoners of the Sun.
