MONTHLY FILM BULLETIN Date: 1984
Title: Monthly Film Bulletin - February 1984 (Published monthly by the British Film Institute, London)
Author: Adair, Gilbert
Description: Film Review. The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. Great Britain, 1983.
“As an 'album', the glossy, expensive type one tends to buy for other people's birthdays, The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright is not without its virtues: to wit, a crisp, intelligible commentary (somewhat breathily spoken by Wright's granddaughter, the actress Anne Baxter) and a comprehensive visual survey of his life's work (Murray Grigor having taken two years, on and off, to complete the film so that each building might be represented in the season which he regarded as appropriate to it). Less felicitous, though, is the hodgepodge of a musical score, which regularly switches styles from building to building in some misguided endeavour to 'match' their varying 'moods'; the distracting use of costumed extras to evoke the period of construction; and, above all, the ubiquitous zoom, which effectively negates Wright's own radical approach to architectural space. Yet, in the end, such flaws are no more than incidental to one's sense of fidgety frustration: the fact is that, whatever the care lavished on it by Grigor and his Arts Council patrons, The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright remains essentially the kind of ultra-conventional documentary most of us are conditioned to tolerate only, and under protest, as a prelude to the 'big film'.” Released in VHS form. Includes on photograph of Taliesin West.

PR: Frank Lloyd Wright: A film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. Press Kit, 1998 (Folder, Release and Photos). Press kit for the documentary on Frank Lloyd Wright. Back cover: "Frank Lloyd Wright was the greatest of all American architects. He was an authentic American genius, a man who believed he was destined to redesign the world, creating everything anew. Over the course of his long career, Wright designed over eight hundred buildings, including such revolutionary structures as the Guggenheim Museum, the Johnson Wax Building, Fallingwater, Unity Temple and Taliesin. Wright's buildings and his ideas changed the way we live, work and see the world around us. Frank Lloyd 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 in the end, few could deny that he was the most important architect in America - and perhaps the world. With exquisite live cinematography, fascinating interviews and rare archival footage, this riveting film brings Wright's unforgettable story to life."

Intelligent and focused, Olgivanna was the driving force in Wright’s later years, urging him to lecture and write, and later, to set up the Taliesin Fellowship program."
