Louis Sullivan Film Completed

When I got to know you, your days of building were over, but even so, nothing you ever did in building could change the image of you, the man. I remember how timid you were when first I suggested that you write a story about your life [The Autobiography of an Idea, 1924]. You could not believe that anyone would be interested. America had jumped forward into a hectic stride. Skyscrapers were rising like weeds. Who longer cared about Louis Sullivan?
