Plot: Paul Brennan and three others are touring America, trying to sell luxury versions of the bible to working-class Americans. They don't have the money to spend on such a book, but there lies their challenge. They will go to great lengths to convince their potential victims to shell out anyway.

A couple of days in the lives of door-to-door salesmen. Salesman is a bare-bones documentary, a doc in the truest sense of the word, as the director and his crew never intervene. They merely document. A noble undertaking, except that I wasn't really all that interested in this tiny cultural niche.
The salesmen are sleazy, their victims are rather gullible, and the endless back-and-forth between the two becomes tiresome after a while. The setup is interesting for maybe 30 minutes, but there's not enough material here to fill an entire documentary. Unless you have a thing for salesmen.
