Review of Salesman (1969) by Martin T — 23 Nov 2009
Very compelling doc about four door-to-door Bible salesmen. I have to wonder if this was an inspiration for David Mamet while writing Glengarry Glen Ross, the similarities (especially in the lingo) are hard to ignore.
What's most remarkable is how invisible the Maysles are, one never feels that the camera is influencing the action (although I'm sure it did, at least a little bit).
