Doorway to Dalí is a collection of rare film clips pertaining to the great Surrealist; Salvador Dalí. While in the Doorway to Dalí you get the opportunity to see Salvador Dalí pitching Alka Seltzer and Lanvin Chocolates, you also get to see the artist muse on the subjects of Science, Mathematics and Nuclear Physics.

Those whose only knowledge of Dalí is from the image he presented to the media, will be surprised by his vast knowledge of science and psychology, inspirations that often found their way into his paintings.

How Dalí manages to contemplate the Atomic Theory and come out with a timeless masterpiece, invoking the writings of Freud and Einstein, is explained in his own words. In one interview from the 1950's, a young Mike Wallace manages to peel away Dalí's often comical public persona and discuss the true motivation behind his works. When Dalí says “Every artist paints the Cosmology of themselves” it is as if the two have reached a common ground and mutual respect that allows Dalí to shed his layers of pretense and reveal to Mr Wallace, a Salvador Dalí few have ever seen.

A true find is about 10 minutes of footage of Dalí never before seen by the public.
Doorway to Dalí engages, provokes and pushes you through the door leading to Dalí's universe. Then it throws away the key. Once your mind is opened, you will long for further immersion into the mind and work of the phenomenon that is Salvador Dalí!

Sweet, maybe I'll give it to my art professor. And maybe I'll take her out to dinner! Maybe not... But sweet deal! Thanks.

[domino harvey]

Thanks OP!

[tofu]

Thanks!!

[marty888]

Nice find - THANKS!

[Trevor]

Danke schon!

[Quirk Manly]

Ordered a copy for my daughter. This should keep her happy in between her regular pilgrimages to the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg (FL not Russia)!

Many thanks OP!

[edman180]

Thanks!!

[wishbone]

kewl, thanks Chad!

[akolang2]

ordered it, thanks:)

[Meatwad's Ghost]

Thanks, this should be really interesting. He was almost as bizarre as his artwork.

[alfonsosoriano]

Thanks, signed up for one!

[boc4ever]

Signed up for one, but charged me $2 for shipping.

[starman9000]

Thanks, signed up for one. Time to go watch my Howard Hughes Medical Institute DVD on the Biological Clock and the Council on American-Islamic Relations DVD: Muhammad, Legacy of a Prophet. :)

[Jamezuva]

is this dead? It seems to be charging $29.99 for it now

[JohnBeas]

I received mine today - thanks OP! Did anyone else get one adressed to the wrong person? It didn't have my name on it but it had my correct address. Strange.

[edman180]

Yup, wrong name but right address

[inDefiance]

...wrong name but right address
Mine, also. It must have happened to everyone.

[Cosmic Bus]

Yup, wrong name but right address

Heh, mine too. Didn't even think to look until seeing it mentioned here... :)

[Trevor]

Same here. Postman had written a big "?" on it.

[Macfly77]

Same for me. Addressed to Richard Bakare.

[Walter Neff]

I haven't gotten mine yet -- addressed to me, or to anyone else. Hoping it's still on its way.

[foggy]

Got mine today. Same deal, wrong name, right address. Thanks OP.

[jsz1002]

Got mine a few weeks ago...right name and address.

[Renee]

Mine was addressed to Bryan Hanf. I'd be curious to see if all of these went out to dvdtalkers!

[KillerCannibal]

In for one. $2 for s/h. Not a big deal.

[dtcarson]

Got mine today. I'm "Robin Carey". I don't know if I'm supposed to be male or female.

[docdoowop]

Man, Dali must've discovered psychedelics waaaay before Leary!

[domino harvey]

I haven't gotten this yet, I wonder if the wrong addressee shared a last name with another tenant here

[marginal]

Just watched most of this today. Man, Mike Wallace comes off like a bit of a d-bag during his interview. Most of his questions are the equivalent of, "Why ya gotta be so weird?" And then after one question (which prompted a very long reply), he basically says, "I didn't understand most of what you said, so let's move on." Admittedly, Dali's accent is thick, but I understood him okay, and I wasn't sitting there getting paid to listen.

I was struck by Wallace not only smoking on the set but doing the commercials for his sponsor, Parliament cigarettes. (Especially in view of his later "60 Minutes" expose on the tobacco industry!)

[marginal]

Yeah, those Parliament commercials were high-larious. I was doing other things while they were on, but I remember one of their selling features being something about how the filters "don't leave the tar on your lips." No, they leave it in your lungs, where it belongs.

[boc4ever]

I thought Wallace came off arrogant as well. I guess you have to consider the time period and the intent of the interview. Obviously it wasn't to showcase the mind of a genius but highlight his eccentricities. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed what I saw of it so far.

I also found the cigarette commercials fascinating since this was before my time. I would love to give this to the art teacher of the high school where I teach to show to his class, but I'm guessing the Parliament commercials aren't too appropriate.

[Quatermass]

Mine came addressed to "Kane Sherlock" which is way cooler than my actual name.

[wishbone]

Mine was addressed as "Brandon Feldman."

[Scott27]

Got mine last week - addressed to "Seneca Ripple." I'm willing to bet that's the most unusual name any of us got.

[Liontamer]

Mine had the name "Steve Tomoza" on it.

[lanemyer74]

Anyone here by the name of "Wendy Shultz"? If so, I have your DVD. :eyebrow:

[mnementh]

I have the sinking feeling my DVD got returned to sender.

[Mosskeeto]

I'm also still waiting but don't know what to expect.
To those who have received a copy and live in multi-unit housing: were any addressed to the right apartment # with just the name being wrong? If so, then there may still be hope for mine.

[BuddhaWake]

just the name was wrong. everything else was fine. I'm surprised I got mines too since I'm in a similar situation.

[Chad]

Received my copy today with the right name and address.

[BMan100]

I will now be known as "Hector Barriga".

[mnementh]

Mine was addressed to Sam Thomas. I'm guessing the DVDs aren't being shipped out in the order they were ordered: A friend of mine ordered a week after I did and lives across the country from Redondo Beach, CA yet received the DVD a week before mine arrived.
