As you know, last Tuesday I wrote about a particular movie that I can’t believe I have never seen. There are other such films, but this one stands out among the rest because everyone I know who has seen it loves it and is shocked that I haven’t seen it.
In that same post, I asked you to guess the name of this flick and even gave you a hint: The “novella” on which the movie is based was written by an author who is best known for stories of a different genre - tales of the macabre.
Well, the response was really quite . . . underwhelming. That’s ok. I know the prize wasn’t very exciting.
I promised the answer today (or earlier if someone guessed correctly), so the moment has arrived.
I have never seen it. I want to see it. Therefore, I don’t know why I have never seen it. In all honesty, when it was released it just didn’t look like my cup of tea. However, I have no good excuse now other than possibly lack of time and a lot of other, more recent movies on my “to see” list. I am going to make this movie a priority and will see it soon. I will let you know when I do.
Oh, and the hint? Well, the movie is based on the novella, “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption,” which was written by none other than Stephen King. This novella is contained in Different Seasons
So there you have it. Please feel free to share the one movie that has escaped you. Also, don’t forget to check back tomorrow for No. 95 on my list of Top 100 Movies.
