"La Mattchiche" in 1947 Musical Movie
By Dale F. Rowe

"La Mattchiche", also known as "La Sorella", was indirectly featured in
a movie musical from 1947.  The movie was called "Mother Wore Tights",
starring Dan Dailey and Betty Grable.  They played a pair of 'hoofers'
that eventually marry and raise a family.

Wanting the best for their children, they book a vacation at a rather
stuffy resort, filled with rather snooty clientele.  The younger
daughter befriends an elderly pensioner, and later sings her 'Chewing
Gum Song', to the tune in question.
 
Hope this is of some interest.
