Documentaries are a fairly pervasive genre in today\'s culture, and an increasing trend is to manipulate the footage in order to further the authentication of one\'s thesis. Albert and David Maysles\' 1. Salesman\' however, turns an unflinching eye on its\' subjects, sometimes with unnerving and disturbing results.\'Salesman\' follows four door- to- door high- end bible salesmen as they travel around the country. The four men have nicknames they\'ve given each other, all describing their sales approach: The Rabbit, The Badger, The Gipper and The Bull.

From the sales meeting where the manager threatens the salesmen to the characters themselves, I saw several clear comparisons. Brennan is Lemmon\'s \'Shel\' character to a tee, and I subsequently couldn\'t help chuckling at the image of The Simpsons\' character \'Gil\'. Whatever specific inspiration \'Salesman\' has provided, it is clearly an important film that does not soften its edges.
