Alfred Hitchcock wanted Salvador Dali to create a dream sequence for his 1940's film "Spellbound" with Gregory Peck and Ingrid Bergman. Hitchcock felt that Dali was the only one who understood that dreams were not properly represented in films because in those days directors and special effects people would depict dreams in a fog or haze and use lense filters to blur the edges of the scene. Hitchcock wanted sharp edges and long shadows, Dali was the perfect man for the job and was hired to create the now famous dream sequence.
