One of the most memorable scenes in The Shawshank Redemption features a classic film starring Rita Hayworth. But which of her movies was it?
The prisoners in the movie The Shawshank Redemption watch a classic Rita Hayworth film that has more significance than it seems. Written and directed by Frank Darabont, the iconic prison drama was adapted from the Stephen King novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, originally included in his collection Different Seasons. Rita Hayworth was one of the biggest stars of the 1940s. She doesn’t appear in The Shawshank Redemption, but she is central to the plot.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Although it bombed at the box office on its initial release, The Shawshank Redemption has since come to be regarded as one of the greatest movies ever made. It sits comfortably in the number-one spot on IMDb’s “Top 250” list. Since The Shawshank Redemption begins its story in 1947, a lot of the movie's cultural references were obscure to modern audiences even when it first arrived in theaters.
Gilda Mundson was the defining role of Rita Hayworth’s career. But the movie isn’t just shown in The Shawshank Redemption because Hayworth was a sex symbol at the time. There are parallels between the plots of Gilda and The Shawshank Redemption. Gilda drives a wedge between her new husband and her former lover; Andy is in prison for the murders of his wife and her lover.
Why The Shawshank Redemption Changed Stephen King's Title In adapting Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption for the screen, Frank Darabont shortened the title and dropped Hayworth’s name. When the movie first entered development under the novella’s original title, it was mistaken for a biopic. Actresses and their agents were reaching out to say they’d be perfect for “the lead role,” assuming the part was a portrayal of the Hollywood icon.
