20th Anniversary For Shawshank This Week

Can you believe it’s been 20 years since the movie “The Shawshank Redemption” opened?  It didn’t fill the seats in the 90’s, perhaps becasue of action films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Williis. The Morgan Freeman/Tim Robbins classic has had long running success, thougth.  Now it tops IMDB’s top 250 films surpassing movies like, “The Godfather” and “Citizen Kane”.  There’s even a local connection to the actor who portrayed the warden,  Bob Gunton. He was in plays at our own “Cumberland County Playhouse” in Crossville!
