...with Frank Lloyd Wright sounds fascinating.
Filmed in two parts on 9/1/1957 and 9/28/1957, Frank Lloyd Wright "talks to Wallace about religion, war, mercy killing, art, critics, his mile-high skyscraper, America's youth, sex, morality, politics, nature, and death."
Available for viewing through the Harry Ransom Center of the University of Texas. Click here for the direct link to the Frank Lloyd Wright program or here for the full list of available interviews.
The interviews were shown at The Cultural Center here in a Chicago, a few years back- all I could keep thinking of as I was watching FLW was "The Fountainhead"!
Plus- they're SMOKING!
It's so "odd" to watch Vintage TV- and see the interviewers puffing away....and cut to a Cigarette commercial!

Beyond the interview, it's hilarious to see the cigarette smoke (from Wallace, I presume) wafting into the shots!

I did not see this interview. Recently I think I am more interested in Wallace's book 'The Way We Will Be 50 Years from Today': http://dealstudio.com/searchdeals.php?deal_id=98482&ru=279 , anyone read that? I think wherein each chapter was like a little monument to its author's ego.

Ahhh!! I once had to watch that interview over and over and over for my job (I know, weird). I have a sketch I did of FLW's head (from that interview, I had to entertain myself somehow) hanging behind my monitor right now. Haven't thought of this in a while.
That said, it is an interesting interview (for FLW and Wallace's chain-smoking) on the first go-round.

I just finished reading "Loving Frank" which is the fascinating story of FLW's love affair with Mamah Cheney.
I have been wanting to see this interview. Thanks for making my day.
