'Waltz Across Texas' is a 1982 American drama film directed by Ernest Day and starring Anne Archer and Terry Jastrow, who were married.

Plot



A headstrong young oilman and a beautiful geologist clash wills on the trail of Texas crude. The first meeting between John Taylor a down-home, intuitive Texan whose expertise lies in guessing where petroleum is located and feisty Gail Weston who, as a geologist, is not in the habit of guessing is hardly promising. So when their first drilling site turns up dry, Gail packs up and heads north, but the lure of oil discovery is strong and soon she finds herself in partnership with John on their own wildcat well. Amid the breathtaking beauty of Midland, Texas, they share a unique quest...and a tender love affair.
