Bill Porter is a cripple, handicapped since birth. His rather wealthy ma drives him around to indulge his ambition to become a door to door salesman. After endless refusals at sight, he is granted a test period on Watkins's worst round, and somehow survives, probably due to his good-mannered helpfulness as much as tireless persistence, becoming a trusted household adviser for lonely people. During his ma's senility ending in death, a Mormon couple helps Bill out, but his pride gets in the way of accepting, leading to a battle of charity. Written by KGF Vissers
I loved this movie. I loved William H. Macy. He was terrific as Bill Porter. He made the character so real with so much spirit that I couldn't help but love him. I was often moved to tears and laughter as I came to admire this "persistent and persevering" and wonderfully endearing door-to-door salesman.
It is a treat from start to finish and I highly recommend that everyone see it.
