 Good movie...I saw the final sequence being filmed July 14, 2008
This is a good gem of a movie well worth viewing. My dad was in the oil business and I remember hearing about this movie when it was being filmed in and around Midland, Texas. I grew up in Midland and was about 12 at the time. My mom heard when and where the final climactic scene was to be filmed, so we went out on the location and stood around for a good while with other curious on-lookers.
We had a good time that day. We were positioned over by some trailers and, at one point, Anne Archer walked right by us to get ready for the scene. Another interesting thing I remember is that this scene turned out somewhat differently in the final cut of the film. I remember an extra actor was in the scene that day. I believe he was one of the regular characters on the TV series Grizzly Adams a few years prior. I was surprised at his absence when I saw the film with my parents in Midland because I liked that actor very much from television.
However, it was still good to see the scene filmed and then to see some of it on the big screen months later. It was quite an experience and it's a good movie. It takes me back to that time period in Midland with some familiar places of my childhood.
 The Sensational 'Waltz Across Texas' May 23, 2008
A W*O*N*D*E*R*F*U*L Movie, and one my roommate ane I 'nearly saw' being
filmed. Being live theatre buffs AND actresses, we thought we would be able to at least glimpse the stars in lil' 'ole Marfa. Nay, nay, naton!
So we drove all the way back to Midland basking in the nearness of them.

Liked this movie when I first saw it many years ago. Somewhat predictable in its format/story line, but still makes a pleasant afternoon vewing.
A Midlander's Review August 29, 2005
Being from Midland you might say I'm a homer and thus have a bias towards this movie. This movie was literally made at the very end of the oil boom period - in fact many of the companies' whose name appear through out the movie had gone out of business by the time it was released (that's how fast the bust hit). Terry Jastrow (who is from Midland) and his real life wife Anne Archer are great opposite each other on the screen while Mary Kay Place provides great commentary on life in Texas Oil Business.
Good Texas movie June 16, 2004
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is a good Texas movie. My dad was a Land Man (secures the leases to drill) so I grew up in this milieu. Two guys really can bring in a well if the pay is not too deep. All of the high school guys in oil country worked as roustabouts (general labor) or rig hands during the summers. When two guys get together, we discuss who missed what block or who jumped offside before we talk about women. Some of the minor characters in the movie have the names of real oil men and women. Good stuff.
