Film adaptationedit
Director Frank Darabont began his film career by adapting this story as a short film in 1983 as part of the Dollar Baby initiative. Darabont sent King a query letter in 1980 asking for permission to adapt the story. King agreed because he thought that students adapting short stories as films was a good idea.[1]
