- Oil! : a novel / by Sinclair, Upton,1878-1968,author.(CARDINAL)147464;
As he did so masterfully in The Jungle, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Upton Sinclair interweaves social criticism with human tragedy in this glorious 1927 novel to create an unforgettable portrait of Southern California's early oil industry. Enraged by the oil scandals of the Harding administration in the 1920s, Sincalir tells a gripping tale of acarice, corruption, and class warfare, featuring a cavalcade of characters, including senators, oil magnates, Hollywood film starlets, and a crusading evangelist. Sinclair's epic drama endures as one of our most powerful American novels of social injustice.1150L- Subjects: Political fiction.; Petroleum industry and trade; Motion picture industry;

- Oil! by Sinclair, Upton,1878-1968.(CARDINAL)147464;
Oil! follows James Arnold Ross and his son, James Arnold Ross Jr., as they do whatever it takes to own their very own oil well. Ross's son--nicknamed Bunny--provides an idealistic counterpoint to his father's avaricious dealings. Their story intertwines with that of Eli Watkins, a revivalist preacher who seeks spiritual power. As the stories of the Ross and Watkins families intertwine, the struggle between the material and the spiritual sharpens. Told over the course of the United States's Gilded Age, World War I, and the post-war years, Oil! is a Dickensian portrait of a country so rich in resources and manpower that it becomes its own greatest enemy.- Subjects: Fiction.; Cultural Region; Political; Topical;

O'Connor, Ciarán Hinds, Dillon Freasier, Barry Del Sherman, Paul F. Tompkins.A down-and-out silver miner raising a son, self-made oilman Daniel Plainview has a voracious appetite for oil and it turns him into a California tycoon in the early years of the 20th century. Getting the oil from the ground is an intensely physical process that later broadens into Plainview's equally indomitable urge to control land and power. Along the way, Plainview deals with a mighty derrick fire, a visit from a long-lost brother, the ongoing involvement of Plainview's poker-faced adoptive son, and Plainview's rivalry with Eli Sunday, the local preacher.MPAA rating: R; for some violence.Blu-ray; requires Blu-Ray playerGolden Globes, USA, 2008: Golden Globe - Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama (Daniel Day-Lewis)- Subjects: Feature films.; Fiction films.; Film adaptations.; Historical films.; Melodramas (Motion pictures); Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; 0 Blu-ray discs; Brothers; Oil industry workers; Oil well drilling rigs; Petroleum workers;
