The Twilight Zone: 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge'

submitted by kronosposeidon

1 decade 5 years 6 months ago

Based on the short story of the same name by Ambrose Bierce (first published in 1891), it was originally a short film made by Robert Enrico before it was aired on 'The Twilight Zone.' It won both first prize for Best Short Subject at the 1962 Cannes Film Festival and the 1963 Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film. Some of you may have read the story in high school or college. I read it in high school. A classic American story.

The sound track at the beginning was really well done.

Man, I remember watching this film in elementary school. Never knew they used it for a Twilight Zone episode. Now that I do, I'm of the opinion that my teachers were trying to screw with our fragile little minds!

If you think this would warp young minds, watch "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall."

Moving this video to kronosposeidon's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
