Can anyone explain? It was disovered that he had dug out of his cell when the prison Governor threw a piece of stone across the cell which penetrated the poster he had been using to conceal the hole. Nobody else knew of his plan to escape, so who attached the poster to the wall after he went down it? P.S, it appeared to be attached on all four corners. Please help?

Every time I watch that scene (my favourite film you see) I think of the same thing.
There are some noticed flaws in the movie apart from that one,but like someone earlier said maybe bottom part isn't really stuck..
Do you also cry every time he opens his arms to the rain?

No doubt Andy would have had a plan - that would have been a lot easier than other work required to prepare for his escape and other parts of the actual escape. It is a bit different to how it happened in Stephen King's Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption - the story on which the film was based. That might explain it a bit - Norton's discovery is more of a moment the way it is in the film, even if it makes you wonder how it was pulled off. Maybe Andy could have had double-sided sticky tape or used string with gum or something like that. I think just try to suspend your disbelief a bit and enjoy the film (and it might be worth you reading the story seeing as you are interested in details like that). The poster in the story hiding Andy's hole at the end was Linda Ronstadt. Good luck. :)

There is a scene in the film where you see him working away at the wall underneath the poster which is attached to the wall at the top. There are bits of tape sticking off the bottom, so when he crawled thru the poster would have fallen back down, the tape might have stuck to the wall with the weight of it falling back down.

Unfortunately it may just be a film continuity error, where the person checking for differences between shots so that they are the same or at least believably happened failed to spot that little bit.
Or they decided that it was just about unnoticeable that they could just ignore that he couldn't put them back down.
Or... he could of use cello tape which could have stuck enough to hold the poster down after he went through... lucky there was no back-draft from the tunnel while he dug it / escaped!
Hope this helps,

If you watch the movie during the scenes after he escaped, it shows that it is only attached at the top. (This was during the part when Red was talking about how Andy escaped)
Andy would stand behind the poster to do his digging and it wasn't attached at the bottom.

Don't remember what poster it was in the film, but I think in the book it was Raquel Welch. I believe the story was titled Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. In the book he updated the poster every couple of years.

Only the top of the poster needed to have been attached/stuck to the wall. The bottom would not need sticking.

I really think he did it from inside the tunnel. Do you know that Steven King wrote that?
