My gosh, this is one gorgeous picture. "The Iron Orchard" is as beautiful a film as I've seen in awhile. Set in the wildcatting days of the Texas oil boom of the 1930s through '50s, it's a fictional story that hews true to life about a country of outsized egos and ambitions. It's based on the 1966 novel by Tom Pendleton, which was a pseudonym of Edmund Van Zandt Jr., himself the son of a prominent oil family who lived the life and then wrote about it in secret.
