 ARCHITECTURE'S ICONOCLASTIC SON October 16, 2000
Bonita L. Davis (Decatur, Georgia)

Clergymen despised him. Many of his colleagues thought him an overblown wind bag. Creditors were a hovering presence at his door. Whatever men or women may say about Frank Lloyd Wright, history has declared him the greatest architect of the 20th century. Some say he is the greatest architect in the world. But what does Frank Lloyd Wright have to say about himself? We are privileged to get to hear what Wright thinks and says about a vast number of subjects in this series of interviews produced in 1957. At 90 years old, Frank Lloyd Wright speaks his mind in the two part series of interview with a young Mike Wallace ( Of 60 Minutes fame.). Young Mike throws out questions challenging Wright and attempts to pin him down on every single detail. Highly individualistic Wright takes up the challenge and spars gracefully with his young interviewer and knocks down his opponent. What you see and hear in these interview is a man who is unrepentent about his personal life, believes that he could rebuild America, hates the mob mentality and is still highly motivated to build more structures to complement the natural landscape. Frank Lloyd Wright is reflective, intelligent and confident of his place in history and doesn't mind telling one so. The interviews don't deal with his architectural achievements as such but enables you to get a glimpse of the man, how his mind works and an appreciation of his contributions to the American scene beyond his creations. Frank Lloyd Wright is enjoyable and wise in his presentation of himself before the camera. What you see is what you get. In many cases he is far ahead of his time than Wallace. Enjoy this engaging interview with one of America's great icons.

A unique historic document about Frank Lloyd Wright April 18, 2000
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Mike Wallace's interviews with Frank Lloyd Wright are a significant historical document, not only for what Mr. Wright says about his own work and about architecture in general, but also for his ideas and views on a wide range of social and cultural topics. The video is a wonderful tribute to a great architect.
