I found this movie to be in desperate need of narration and editing.

I don't think there's a single scene that lasts more than 2 minutes, so you have a bunch of short moments all over the place - salesman in car, salesman in someone's home, salesman in meeting, etc.

But there's no real narrative to the story. It's just moments, and a string of moments doesn't make a movie.

The makers should have picked one man and followed him, given us some background, etc. Instead there are many faces and it's hard to remember one from the other. There is no start, middle, or end to the story - just a bunch of short scenes and then we're done. So what was the point?

They should have introduced these men, told us their challenges, interviewed them and let them speak to the camera, etc. Some men were fired, we're told in passing - why? Poor sales? How about taking one guy who's on the bubble and following his story?

Just boring. The "moments of desperation" are kind of meaningless because we don't know the people.

I really wanted to like this movie but it's a mess.

This is a pretty boring and pointless documentary about 4 scammers who try to prey on housewives and old ladies in order to sell them Bibles for $50 a piece back in 1969 which is $430 in today's money. They go door to door, trying to manipulate people's faith in order to make them spend their money and continue their pushy tactics even after people tell them that they don't have any money.

There was one scene where an old lady says she already has a bible. Then the pushy salesman shows her pictures and says "this bible has some great pictures which will give you solace and make you feel less lonely" and manipulates her into buying an expensive Bible with what little money she had.

These people should have been put to prison for scamming people not be glorified in a documentary.
