　　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.

　　赏析：

　　“玻璃纸先生” 选自《芝加哥》/ Chicago

　　要说歌舞团的小角色洛克茜·哈特（芮妮·齐薇格）的心愿是什么，那莫过于成为一个歌舞巨星，改变她平淡得生活。而一个能让她实现梦想的，搞得这个单纯得女孩神魂颠倒，她仿佛看到自己很快就追上羡慕以久的歌舞明星维尔玛·凯丽。

　　但洛克茜走错了方向，她和她的星途都因为一项谋杀指控断送在了监狱里。在监狱女警墨顿的暗中照顾下，洛克茜认识了大律师比利·福莱恩（理查·基尔）。他同意受理洛克茜的案子，但他的报酬也是不同寻常的。洛克茜有了转机，但也惹恼了她的经理人，因为这件谋杀案隐藏了不可告人的秘密，而聪明的凯丽小姐在第二次庭审中为洛克茜准备了意想不到的反击。

　　这是关于阴谋、爱情、背叛、竞争和友谊的电影，在影片早前的首映中，观众反映非常好，从未接触过歌舞片的凯瑟林·泽塔·琼斯在剧中表现出众，影评家认为她在这方面的天赋丝毫不逊于在《红磨坊》中初露峥嵘的尼克尔·基德曼。
