    A slice out of time, from when the airwaves were for thought rather than soundbites. And the love for cigarettes makes me nostalgic for my own habit-driven days.

    the mike wallace interviews. from dalí to the party queen elsa maxwell, from the naïve jean seberg to frank lloyd wright, a man wise beyond his years... mike wallace has 20' interviews that are always interesting. even if they don't seem particularly interesting to you. going back to 1957/58, we can notice how philip morris was already damaging mankind with their advertising and sponsorship of the programme (mike wallace, still alive, would suffer a smoking related disease himself) and it's also very interesting to watch the format of tv directing: the camera is sometimes literally in the face of mike's guest. the interview's transcripts are also available. it's wonderful. i haven't watched them all (or not yet anyway), but frank lloyd wright's both interviews really are a necklace of wisdom (his aloofness, note, was a consequence of all the harassment he'd undergone in the last years, from mccarthy to his peers...).

    Simply astonishing in so many ways. Complete video of original interviews by Mike Wallace. So weird to see the manner in which the interview of Gloria Swanson was conducted. Cold and harsh. He's not so much interviewing her as talking about her in the same room. Not to mention the incredible ads for the "Natural Cigarette" of Phillip Morris, " . . . crush proof box . . . man-size . . . the best natural smoke". He lights up and smokes during the entire interview! You have to see at least one of these episodes. You never knew it was like this. Or maybe you did. So different, and yet, so much the same. Now I understand where we got some of our current over-the-top interview methods.

    From the page: ""Whether you agree or disagree with what you will hear, we feel that none will deny the right of these views to be broadcast." Mike Wallace rose to prominence in 1956 with the New York City television interview program, Night-Beat, which soon developed into the nationally televised prime-time program, The Mike Wallace Interview. Well prepared with extensive research, Wallace asked probing questions of guests framed in tight close-ups. The result was a series of compelling and revealing interviews with some of the most interesting and important people of the day. "

    This is a great resource for those who are studing US history (both internally and internationally) during the late 50's.

    From the page: ""Whether you agree or disagree with what you will hear, we feel that none will deny the right of these views to be broadcast."" Mike Wallace did some rare interviews back in the day while smoking the advertiser's cigs. Reminds one of how strange the TV and radio industry is.
