The movie is better than the book?

Yes. It is actually a moderately short story. Stephen King wrote it, which many people do not know.

Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption (the movie made reference to it with the original poster of Rita and the scene with all of them watching the movie).

The book is somewhat different than the movie, but overall, the movie stayed relatively true to the plot of the book. I read the book after seeing the movie.
