Working in sales

In 1969 Jack Kroll from Newsweek interviewed David and Albert Mayles about their film Salesman. Seeing the film as nothing more than a depressing take on the illegitamacy of the sales world, Kroll asked what was the film’s point.

The men responded (and I’m paraphrasing) by saying this film illustrated how life isn’t that different for so many other people. And if this is the existence of so many people, it begs the question “what could it or should it be instead?”
