America's most famous architect, the son of a Yorkshire preacher and grandson of a Welsh one, Frank Lloyd Wright lived and died believing he was the prophet of a new architecture.
Born 1869, died 1959: during that time he had three wives and one mistress who was assassinated by a madman; and turned out thousands of designs for buildings that seemed to have nothing in common except their authorship. Tonight's film is a personal record of an architect who 'strode into architecture talking like a man unaware that there ever was such a production as a house, or such a thing as an architect. He had to re-create architecture with the elements at hand.'
