Salesman
This film by Albert and David Maysles depicts the struggle 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. This hard-drinking quartet spends their days peddling gold-leaf Bibles to lethargic crowds of lower-middle-class housewives and elderly couples in small-town America.
