　　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.

　　賞析：

　　“玻璃紙先生” 選自《芝加哥》/ Chicago

　　要說歌舞團的小角色洛尅茜·哈特（芮妮·齊薇格）的心願是什麽，那莫過於成爲一個歌舞巨星，改變她平淡得生活。而一個能讓她實現夢想的，搞得這個單純得女孩神魂顛倒，她倣彿看到自己很快就追上羨慕以久的歌舞明星維爾瑪·凱麗。

　　但洛尅茜走錯了方曏，她和她的星途都因爲一項謀殺指控斷送在了監獄裡。在監獄女警墨頓的暗中照顧下，洛尅茜認識了大律師比利·福萊恩（理查·基爾）。他同意受理洛尅茜的案子，但他的報酧也是不同尋常的。洛尅茜有了轉機，但也惹惱了她的經理人，因爲這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讅中爲洛尅茜準備了意想不到的反擊。

　　這是關於隂謀、愛情、背叛、競爭和友誼的電影，在影片早前的首映中，觀衆反映非常好，從未接觸過歌舞片的凱瑟林·澤塔·瓊斯在劇中表現出衆，影評家認爲她在這方麪的天賦絲毫不遜於在《紅磨坊》中初露崢嶸的尼尅爾·基德曼。
