Salesman
The acrimonious competition of four Mid-American Bible Company door-to-door salesmen, Paul "The Badger" Brennan, Charles "The Gipper" McDevitt, James "The Rabbit" Baker, and Raymond "The Bull" Martos, is chronicled in this documentary by Albert and David Maysles. This hard-drinking quartet spends their days traveling through small-town America, attempting to sell gold-leaf Bibles to an uninterested crowd of lower-middle-class housewives and elderly couples.
