Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption

In Shawshank Prison, Red is serving three consecutive life terms for killing his wife and two of his neighbors. While he's serving his time, banker Andy Dufresne is charged and convicted of murdering his wife and her lover, despite his claimed innocence. The brutality of prison life wears plenty of men down, but over the years Andy figures out how to manipulate the warden, the guards and the other inmates and exacts his revenge. The book was fantastic.
