This landmark documentary from Albert and David Maysles follows the bitter rivalry of four door-to-door salesmen working tirelessly to sell gold-embossed bibles . 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. One of the most important and illuminating documentaries of the mid-20th-century, Salesman showed the world a realism it had never seen and a pair of brothers who would change the documentary landscape forever.
