Sadly, most of Selena’s pictures these days are not credited and can sometimes be hard to tell if they’re actually Selena herself. I’m 90% sure on this one.
Executioners have a short ‘life’. They get tired of the work. The soul sickens of it. After ten, twenty, a hundred death-rattles, the human being, however sub-human he may be, acquires, perhaps by a process of osmosis with death itself, a germ of death which enters his body and eats into him like a canker. Melancholy and drink take him, and a dreadful lassitude which brings a glaze to the eyes and slows up the movements and destroys accuracy. When the employer sees these signs he has no alternative but to execute the executioner and find another one.

Green Mansions (1959): I won’t even pretend to understand the plot which seems a little out there to me. Netflix won’t rent it to me. But whatever bad things people say about this movie (do people say bad things about this movie?) Audrey has never looked so adorable as she does next to this fawn. They really loved each other, btw.
