In its summer 2008 exhibition “Dali and Film”, New York’s Museum of Modern Art noted that Dali’s fascination with movies is evident in many of his paintings, as well as theatrical “sets”. In the Marx Brothers’ “Animal Crackers” he perceived “the summit of the evolution of comic cinema”, and in Harpo Marx he found the perfect alter ego for his cinematic ambitions.
In “Giraffes” — his English-language script and preliminary drawings for which the MoMA put on display — Dali wanted Harpo to play a Spanish aristocrat named Jimmy (or the Roman Emperor Nero, says another source) who moves to America and falls for a mysterious female character. Dali described Harpo as”the one with the curly hair, whose face is that of persuasive and triumphant madness”.
