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.
