Salesman
Albert and David Maysles's documentary chronicles the intense rivalry between four door-to-door salesmen for the Mid-American Bible Company: Paul "The Badger" Brennan, Charles "The Gipper" McDevitt, James "The Rabbit" Baker, and Raymond "The Bull" Martos. The going is tough for this hardy trio, who spend their days traveling through small-town America, attempting to sell gold-leaf Bibles to an uninterested population of lower-middle-class housewives and elderly couples.
