Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Salvador Dali Exhibition. DESCRIPTION: The largest exhibition of the work of eccentric artist Salvador Dali ever to be staged in Europe. Museums and private collectors loan their treasures to a Rotterdam Museum, and it’s attracting record crowds. Many of Dali’s famous surrealist paintings are included, and a new public emerges as mystified as the old. We see, too, his more modern creations in jewellery. It’s a unique experience, whether or not you go for this type of art. SHOTLIST: GV exterior people enter gallery pan to MCU posters & name ‘Salvador Dali’. CU Dali in comic hat twirling moustache.
