Frank Lloyd Wright: The Mike Wallace Interviews

In 1957, when Frank Lloyd Wright was 90 years old and in New York to supervise construction of his final masterpiece, the Guggenheim Museum, Mike Wallace invited him to be a guest on the television show "The Mike Wallace Interview." Their conversation was so compelling that Wallace invited Wright back for a second appearance. Rarely has a figure of such historic importance been so admiringly yet revealingly captured. In these two free-wheeling interviews, Wright speaks out about his own work and about architecture in general--topics one might expect him to cover. Then he goes on to express his iconoclastic views on a wide range of social and cultural topics. Guided by Wallace's questioning, America's greatest architect emerges as a wise, idealistic, nonconformist, and uniquely self-confident man.
