Overall, it was a fantastic exhibition and I learned quite a great deal about Salvador Dal\u00c3\u00ad&#8217;s interest in film that went far beyond his collaborations with Bu\u00c3\u00b1uel, like the famed &#8220;Un Chien Andalou.&#8221; Dal\u00c3\u00ad created wonderful storyboards and set designs for quite a few unrealized films, including a collaboration with the Marx Brothers! Here&#8217;s a quote from a 1937 letter Dal\u00c3\u00ad wrote to surrealist Andr\u00c3\u00a9 Breton: &#8220;I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m in Hollywood, where I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve made contact with the three American Surrealists, Harpo Marx, Disney and Cecil B. DeMille.&#8221; I also hadn&#8217;t realized that Dal\u00c3\u00ad created the dream sequence for Alfred Hitchock&#8217;s Spellbound (1945). Apparently, a phantasmagoric ballroom scene was shot for this sequence but ended up on the cutting room floor. Dal\u00c3\u00ad&#8217;s artwork and notes for this part of the dream are quite remarkable. It&#8217;s sad that the footage was lost.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=amFTRybk0fI\" rel=\"shadowbox[sbpost-1657];player=swf;width=640;height=385;\" >Link<\/a> to Spellbound clip, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lacma.org\/art\/ExhibDali.aspx\" >Link<\/a> to Dal\u00c3\u00ad: Painting &#38; Film at the LACMA<\/p>\n<p>Previously on BB:<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Salvador Dal\u00c3\u00ad on &#8220;What&#8217;s My Line?&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boingboing.net\/2007\/05\/15\/salvador-dali-on-wha.html\" >Link<\/a><br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Salvador Dal\u00c3\u00ad TV commercials <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boingboing.net\/2007\/05\/16\/salvador-dali-tv-com.html\" >Link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dal\u00c3\u00ad: Painting &#38; Film: Last evening, I visited the Dal\u00c3\u00ad: Painting &#38; Film exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
