The captives in the novella see the 1945 film The Lost Weekend. Darabont had planned to feature the same film in the film, but discovered that the rights were owned by a different studio. So he went out to find a film in which he could display a part without spending a lot of money. As a result, he chose the film Gilda. Darabont was overjoyed since Gilda is one of Rita Hayworth’s most famous films, and her image plays a significant role in The Shawshank Redemption.
