The soundtrack She dreams of becoming a classical dancer. Her dream comes true when she passes with an improvised performance the admission test of a prestigious dance school. A beautiful girl from Pittsburgh earns a living as a worker in a steel factory. She also falls in love with her employer.

The soundtrack Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night, lookin' for the fight of her life In the real-time world no one sees her at all, they all say she's crazy Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart, changing woman into light She has danced into the danger zone, when a dancer becomes the dance It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire On a wire between will and what will be She's a maniac, maniac on the floor And she's dancing like she's never danced before She's a maniac, maniac on the floor And she's dancing like she's never danced before On the ice blue line of insanity is a place most never see It's a hard warm place of mystery, touch it, but can't hold it You work all your life for that moment in time, it could come or pass you by It's a push of the world, but there's always a chance It's the hardest staying the night There's a cold connective heat, struggling, stretching for defeat Never stopping with her head against the wind. She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know..... Maniac

The soundtrack DID YOU KNOW? There’s also an oscar for best score. The Italian composer Nicola Piovani won the oscar in 1999 for the score of “Life is beautiful”, played and directed by Roberto Benigni.

The soundtrack Smile, without a reason why Love, as if you were a child Smile, no matter what they tell you Don’t listen to a word they say 'Cause life is beautiful that way Tears, a tidal-wave of tears Light that slowly disappears Wait, before you close the curtain There’s still another game to play And life is beautiful that way Now, that you're out there on your own Remember, what is real and what we dream is love alone. Keep the laughter in your eyes Soon, your long awaited prize We’ll forget about our sorrow And think about a brighter day 'Cause life is beautiful that way Here, in his eyes forever more I will always be as close as you remember from before.
