Giraffes on Horseback Salad
- Giraffes on Horseback Salad
"Giraffes on Horseback Salad", also called "The Surrealist Woman", was a screenplay written in 1937 by Salvador Dalí, for the Marx Brothers.
The screenplay was never produced, allegedly because MGM, the Marx Brothers' studio, considered it to be too surreal (proposed scenes included gas mask-wearing giraffes, and Harpo Marx catching dwarves in a butterfly net); other sources allege that Groucho Marx felt that the screenplay just wasn't funny.

For several years, "Giraffes" was thought to be lost; however, in 1996, it was found amid Dali's personal papers.
