The presence of Bill Murray, John Goodman, and Cate Blanchett together in the cast is enough to get me to the theater, even without knowing that it’s an incredible story based on the account written by Dallas’ own Robert Edsel.

Read the 2011 D Magazine profile of Edsel and his work (which happens to feature the greatest illustration the magazine has ever run), and you’ll be even more excited for the movie too.
