Raymond Chandler on the Oscars

The Atlantic has put Raymond Chandler's "Oscar Night in Hollywood" on-line.

Oscar Night in Hollywood: "'Not only is the motion picture an art, but it is the one entirely new art that has been evolved on this planet for hundreds of years. It is the only art at which we of this generation have any possible chance to greatly excel.'"

These raymond chandler essays are great. it's always the best when a totally down to earth guy in the movie racket who can write well takes a gander at something everyone tiptoes around because they fear for their careers. he's got some other essays to in the released-free-for-public Antlantic archives too.
