It is important to point out that Salvador Dali was involved in this classic film.
He was? In what way? The only reference to Dali and this movie that I can find is “The Surrealists, including Breton, Dali, and Tzara, noisily defended Bunuel’s film and derided Cocteau’s.”
From here:

Dali made similar movies with Luis Buñuel.
Though he did not appear nor was given credit it is my understanding ( from an old art school paper ) he consulted and gave ideas…….* goes and tries to find such paper *
p.s. It was many years since I was in art school..lol
