Summary
Frank Lloyd Wright was the greatest of all American architects. His buildings and ideas changed the way we live, work and see the world around us. Wright's architectural achievements were often overshadowed by the turbulence of his melodramatic life. In ninety-two years, he fathered seven children, married three times and was almost constantly embroiled in scandal. Some hated him, some loved him, but few could deny that he was the most important architect in America - and perhaps the world. With live cinematography, fascinating interviews and rare archival footage, this riveting film brings Wright's unforgettable story to life.
