    Mister Cellophane
    If someone stood up in a crowd
    And raised his voice up way out loud
    And waved his arm
    And shook his leg
    You'd notice him
    If someone in a movie show
    Yelled "fire in the second row,
    This whole place is a powder keg!"
    You'd notice him
    And even without clucking like a hen
    Everyone gets noticed, now and then,
    Unless, of course, that personage should be
    Invisible, inconsequential me!
    Cellophane
    Mister cellophane
    Should have been my name
    Mister cellophane
    'cause you can look right through me
    Walk right by me
    And nener know I'm there!
    I tell ya
    Cellophane
    Mister cellophane
    Should have been my name
    Mister cellophane
    'cause you can look right through me
    walk right by me
    And never know I'm there. . .
    Suppose you was a little cat
    Residin' in a person's flat
    Who fed you fish and scratched your ears?
    You'd notice him
    Supoose you was a woman wed
    And sleepin' in a double bed beside one man for seven years
    You'd notice him
    A human being's made of more thatn air
    With all that bulk, you're bound to see him there
    Unless that human bein' next to you
    Is unimpressive, undistinguished
    You know who. . .
    Should've been my name
    Mister cellophane
    'cause you can look right through me
    Walk right by me
    And never know I'm there
    I tell ya
    Cellophane
    Mister cellophane
    Should have been my name
    Mister cellophane
    'cause you can look right through me
    Walk right by me
    And never know I'm there
    Never even know
    I'm there
    [spoken]
    I hope I haven't taken up too much of your time.

    “玻璃紙先生” 選自《芝加哥》/ Chicago
    要說歌舞團(tuán)的小角色洛克茜·哈特(芮妮·齊薇格)的心愿是什么,那莫過于成為一個(gè)歌舞巨星,改變她平淡得生活。而一個(gè)能讓她實(shí)現(xiàn)夢想的承諾,搞得這個(gè)單純得女孩神魂顛倒,她仿佛看到自己很快就追上羨慕以久的歌舞明星維爾瑪·凱麗。
    但洛克茜走錯(cuò)了方向,她和她的星途都因?yàn)橐豁?xiàng)謀殺指控?cái)嗨驮诹吮O(jiān)獄里。在監(jiān)獄女警墨頓的暗中照顧下,洛克茜認(rèn)識了大律師比利·福萊恩(理查·基爾)。他同意受理洛克茜的案子,但他的報(bào)酬也是不同尋常的。洛克茜有了轉(zhuǎn)機(jī),但也惹惱了她的經(jīng)理人,因?yàn)檫@件謀殺案隱藏了不可告人的秘密,而聰明的凱麗小姐在第二次庭審中為洛克茜準(zhǔn)備了意想不到的反擊。
    這是關(guān)于陰謀、愛情、背叛、競爭和友誼的電影,在影片早前的首映中,觀眾反映非常好,從未接觸過歌舞片的凱瑟林·澤塔·瓊斯在劇中表現(xiàn)出眾,影評家認(rèn)為她在這方面的天賦絲毫不遜于在《紅磨坊》中初露崢嶸的尼克爾·基德曼。
