Shawshank Redemption

"The Shawshank Redemption" was released in U.S. theaters 25 years ago today. As folks know, it didn't do well at the box office but did better with VHS rentals and took off in popularity and esteem via the TNT network.

The big hole in the story (no pun intended) is how Andy would have time to get into town, visit so many Portland banks, buy a car, and go way out in the country to leave money and a letter for Red, and then leave Maine for Ft. Hancock, TX--all while undetected. But the story has such a message of hope, that I don't care about that difficulty.
