    Lots of cool video clips from a 1957 interview done by Mike Wallace. If you have iTunes, you can also listen to the two part interview in its entirety: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=178806823&s=143441

    Riv library has some tapes. There is one where they take significant buildings of each decade and put transportaion means of that era in the drive way. Imagine how fantastically modern Unity Temple looked compared to the church across Lake Street that was built at the same time, or the Coonley House with a a 1905 car in the drive, or even a Lincoln Continental from 1940 pulloing into the Johnson Wax garage. It's a very nice film and makes you realize how ahead of his time Wright was. They also have a lot of good books on Wright, some of which I donated.
