Born in Boston in 1926, Maysles studied psychology at\u00a0Syracuse and, after finishing his master&#8217;s program, taught the subject for three years at Boston University before turning his attention to film.<\/p>\n<p>Breaking into moviemaking with a silent 1955 short, Psychiatry in Russia, Albert then worked with\u00a0&#8220;cinema verit\u00e9 &#8220;innovator Robert Drew on various projects, including the 1960 Democratic presidential campaign chronicle Primary, before establishing Maysles Films two years later with his younger sibling David. The brothers first gained notoriety when they filmed What&#8217;s Happening! The Beatles in the U.S.A.,\u00a0which followed the Fab Four on their 1964 American tour\u00a0and was later edited into 1990&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D12463%20%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Beatles: The First U.S. Visit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The following is a selection of\u00a0other key works currently available on home video by Albert Maysles&#8211;both with David, who died from a stroke in 1987, and later projects he made solo and\u00a0in\u00a0collaboration with other documentarians:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/legacy-of-documentarian-albert-maysles\/salesman-2\/#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-45746\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-45746\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/SALESMAN-2.jpg\" alt=\"SALESMAN 2\" width=\"125\" height=\"176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/SALESMAN-2.jpg 125w, https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/SALESMAN-2-70x100.jpg 70w, https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/SALESMAN-2-100x142.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 125px) 100vw, 125px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D23499&amp;altid=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Salesman<\/a> (1968) &#8212; Who says you can&#8217;t put a price on salvation?
