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.

Couldn’t take my eyes off this movie–you know it’s good when it keeps me up way past my bedtime. The titular salesmen in the movie were at once so weird and creepy but also charming and inviting. It was like watching vampires who walk in the day, as you see them wear down the defenses of middle-class housewives, sucking them dry of their last free dollar in the month. I’m not going to write a whole sociological treatise here, but there’s so much here about America and capitalism and religion and I recommend it to everyone.
