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

Unable to make ends meet, she takes a job singing in a Bowery beer hall without telling anyone from her family back home.

She even sneaks into a performance at the Met, persuading her family that she really is a singer there despite causing a mishap that interferes with Olaf Olstrom, the company's top tenor.

The scene features Lawrence Tyburt Patterson, Jr., Lawford's character, 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 man's last mad surge of youth."
