West Side Story, 1961

　　《西区故事》（1961 年）

　　 Natalie Wood plays an impoverished Puerto Rican on the wrong side of town, but still gets to wear ravishing New Look silhouettes with beautifully matching shoes. This disregard for the tenets of gritty kitchensink drama bothered us for years, but then we remembered that her character Maria worked in a bridal shop – was she helping herself to fabric and dye when the boss wasn’t looking? And is that why she felt so pretty?

　　 娜塔利·伍德饰演的是一名穷困的波多黎各人，住在镇上的贫民区，但她依然穿着迷人的“新风貌”服装，以及与之相配的漂亮鞋子。这种无视写实激进现实主义戏剧的宗旨的服饰让我们困惑了很多年，不过，我们记得她饰演的人物玛利亚在一家婚纱店工作——难道她趁老板不注意的时候私用布料和颜料了吗？那就是她看起来那么漂亮的原因吗？
