Quote by Raymond Chandler
The motion picture made in Hollywood, if it is to create art at al

The motion picture made in Hollywood, if it is to create art at all, must do so within such strangling limitations of subject and treatment that it is a blind wonder it ever achieves any distinction beyond the purely mechanical slickness of a glass and chromium bathroom. – Raymond Chandler
