Salesman stands as the movie where [the Maysles] really found their voice as leading American proponents of the "direct cinema" aesthetic.

Guardian
Unarguably one of the greatest documentaries ever made, and an intimate portrait of the reality behind a thousand blue collar dramas.

Film4
The filmmakers, despite their rueful gaze, inspire empathy for all parties to this miserable commerce.

New Yorker
This 1968 study of door-to-door Bible salesmen in the Boston area and in the south is a superb and truthful look at an American institution -- and at the troubling relationship between fact and fiction, materialism and spiritual values.

Chicago Reader
SALESMAN is one of the milestones of the American direct cinema movement....Riveting drama...
Sight and Sound
Aside from sales spiel, dialogue is spontaneous, nothing staged or repeated, no one looks at the camera or seems aware of it.

Salesman's milieu of motels and pork-pie hats may have passed, but its broader diagnosis has lost none of its truth.

Product Description:
Directors Albert and David Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin are probably best known for their documentary of the Rolling Stones at Altamont in the shattering GIMME SHELTER. But in 1968, they produced the ground breaking SALESMAN, which brought viewers into the real life on the road and in the parlors with travelling Bible salesmen. Attending their motivational conferences, sitting at their poker tables, discussing life and love, money and salvation, the camera follows the archetypal Salesman as he makes his living selling the Good Word, with gold embossing.
