They seem to be at a gambling house, but there weren't any walls, just a lot of curtains with eyes
painted on them. Headhunted by Hollywood's
foremost director, he'd come a long way since his
previous eye-slitting moment in Un Chien Andalou. I requested Dali, Selznick, the producer,
had the impression that I wanted Dali for the publicity value. That wasn't it at all. What I was after was, again,
the thing we had talked about earlier, the vividness
of dreams. As you know, all Dali's work is very
solid and very sharp, with very long
perspectives and black shadows
painted on them. Headhunted by Hollywood's
