Giraffes on Horseback Salad, also called The Surrealist Woman,[1] was a screenplay written in 1937[2] by Salvador Dalí for the Marx Brothers.
It was to be a love story between a Spanish aristocrat named "Jimmy" (to be played by Harpo Marx, with whom Dalí was friends)[1] and a "beautiful surrealist woman, whose face is never seen by the audience".
[8] Tate Modern curator Matthew Gale has suggested that Dali may have considered an actual production to be beside the point.
This screenplay was adapted as a graphic novel illustrated by Manuela Pertega, and published together with 40 pages of historical background notes by Quirk Books in March 2019.
[12][13] On July 26, 2019, the official Giraffes on Horseback Salad Soundtrack, with full musical numbers and Marx Brother comedy routines, was released by Lakeshore Records.
