In this 1988 movie, Jason Robards plays a widower who hires Julie Harris as a paid companion for the holiday, she is not what he expected. Good movie, sad ending. Full movie. 73 Minutes. mild language. The title itself is indicative it has a Christendom holiday setting.

 

How Does Juniper Smell?

The smell of Juniper is very closely similar to that of gin. Since Juniper originated from coniferous trees,  this is one reason why they have a slight odor of woody notes attached to them. Along with these woody notes, there are also hints of Dewey, freshness when you take in the scent of juniper. It is sharp to inhale, and this is because pure juniper does smell like gin. Juniper has a powerful and distinctive aroma that is all things woody, crisp, and fresh.

From the movie (recited oh so perfectly by Julie Harris)

A single flow'r he sent me, since we met.
All tenderly his messenger he chose;
Deep-hearted, pure, with scented dew still wet -
One perfect rose.

I knew the language of the floweret;
'My fragile leaves,' it said, 'his heart enclose.'
Love long has taken for his amulet
One perfect rose.

 

Dorothy Parker [1893-1967] was best known as a journalist and critic but she was also a very witty person and an able poet.

Once his hammer is discovered, look at where he decided to start cutting out space for it: The Book of Exodus, named after the Greek word for departure. This book also details the plight of the formerly-enslaved Jewish people as they escape from Egypt, drawing parallels to Andy’s own escape.

Of course, Exodus is very early on in the Old Testament, so it's probably a good thing none of the prison guards ever opened up that Bible. Andy would've been busted because of this conspicuous hammer placement.
