Salesman
This documentary from Albert and David Maysles follows the bitter rivalry of four door-to-door salesmen working for the Mid-American Bible Company: Paul "The Badger" Brennan, Charles "The Gipper" McDevitt, James "The Rabbit" Baker and Raymond "The Bull" Martos. Times are tough for this hard-living quartet, who spend their days traveling through small-town America, trying their best to peddle gold-leaf Bibles to an apathetic crowd of lower-middle-class housewives and elderly couples.
Editor's Verdict
"The documentary focuses entirely on door-to-door Bible sales and the rivalry among the salesmen. There is no indication that the story takes place during the Christmas season or involves any related themes or iconography."
