   2:31 – 2:55 The most important dialog of the film, in my opinion.

   I am doing some research on Melly at present and this has really helped. Thank you for sharing.

   This man dishonors his ‘contemporaries’. I can’t imagine Magritte welcoming his company, nor tolerating his pseudo-sophisticated tastes for his surrealistic ideals.

    This is all frightfully sophisticated and somewhat contrived, isn’t it? George Melly shaving in the mirror and talking about surrealism? How about the Green Lady and a bit a pie and mash for working class types like me?

    I think it is E. L. T. Mesens – a Belgian surrealist who had a gallery in London after the war. Melly worked for him.
