In the original 1961 movie of West Side Story, they also use Singer sewing machines. They utilize this fact to humorous effect in the following dialogue, occurring right after Maria sings the song, “I Feel Pretty” with the other sewing girls. Madam Lucia is the proprietress of the sewing shop. The girls have been singing, instead of sewing …
Madam Lucia: If you have to sing, do it with the needle, or you’ll be out in the street singing for your supper.
Maria: But Madam Lucia, what can you expect? We use SINGER sewing machines.
It’s one of the funnier lines in the movie.
