Salesman (1969)

 Classic black and white documenary from the Maysels brothers and Charlotte Zwerin. Follows four Catholic Bible salesman as they have a series of awkward interactions chiefly among working class parishioners in New England and Florida. Sometimes painful to watch this character study come time capsule currio, has been described as a kind of non fiction novel featuring characters out of Flannery O'Conner and Arthur Miller. ***
