VHS Movie Reviews of Two Sisters From Boston [VHS]
Movie Review: A Pleasant Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Abigail Chandler (Kathryn Grayson) has shamed the family! She has been performing at a nightclub called "The Golden Rooster," an unheard of act for a girl from such a family. A sample of her bloodline comes to investigate, and when her sister (June Allyson) learns the truth, that Abigail only did it because she was desperate for money and couldn't make it into the opera, she does what she can to help. Along with Abigail's manager (Jimmy Durante) and her sister's beau (Peter Lawford), they do their best to keep her past a secret and launch her into the career she always dreamed of.
There is plenty of humor in this movie, and that is its strength. Aside form the vibrant personality of Durante, who is always pleasant no matter what he is doing, Allyson grabs several laughs with her fainting and prudishness. There is also a cute bit about early RCA records and "His Master's Voice." Only die hard fans of this era will get the joke, but it is a nice nod.
I am not a big opera fan, so I did not enjoy those scenes as much as I liked the jazzy ones set in The Golden Rooster. However, Grayson has obvious talent as a singer and is really beautiful.
