Featuring: Paul Brennan, Charles McDevitt, James Baker, Raymond Martos.Summary: "A landmark American documentary, [the film] captures in vivid detail the bygone era of the door-to-door salesman. While laboring to sell a gold-embossed version of the Good Book, Paul Brennan and his colleagues target the beleaguered masses--then face the demands of quotas and the frustrations of life on the road. Following Brennan on his daily rounds, the Maysles discover a real-life Willy Loman, walking the line from hype to despair."-- Container.
