But first, the real-life backstory: Giraffes on Horseback Salad was a Marx Brothers film written by modern art icon Salvador Dali, who\u0026amp;;d befriended Harpo. Rejected by MGM, the script was thought lost forever. Author and lost-film buff Josh Frank unearthed the original script, and Dali\u0026amp;;s notes and sketches for the project, tucked away in museum archives. With comedian Tim Heidecker and Spanish comics creator Manuela Pertega, he\u0026amp;;s re-created the film as a graphic novel in all its gorgeous full-color, cinematic, surreal glory. In the story, a businessman named Jimmy (played by Harpo) is drawn to the mysterious Surrealist Woman, whose very presence changes humdrum reality into Dali-esque fantasy. With the help of Groucho and Chico, Jimmy seeks to join her fantastical world\u0026amp;;but forces of normalcy threaten to end their romance. Includes new Marx Brothers songs and antics, plus the real-world story behind the historic collaboration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Quirk Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45253930745909,"sku":"ByrdShop_159474923X","price":38.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781594749230_02aa743b-71c7-4235-a775-576f2f635095.jpg?v=1779951184","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/giraffes-on-horseback-salad-salvador-dali-the-marx-brothers-and-the-strangest-movie-never-made-9781594749230","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
