Salesman, Albert Maysles, Charlotte Zwerin, David Maysles, 1969

This documentary from Albert and David Maysles follows the bitter rivalry of four doortodoor salesmen working for the MidAmerican Bible Company: Paul The Badger Brennan, Charles The Gipper McDevitt, James The Rabbit Baker and Raymond The Bull Martos. Times are tough for this hardliving quartet, who spend their days traveling through smalltown America, trying their best to peddle goldleaf Bibles to an apathetic crowd of lowermiddleclass housewives and elderly couples
