Actually, correct me if I'm wrong, but this and the Twilight Zone episode are one and the same. Apparently, Rod Serling bought the rights to use the film as an episode of The Twilight Zone.

See the Wikipedia page...it's interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Occurrence_at_Owl_Creek_Bridge_%28film%29

Lack of dialogue offputting?! 5 minutes shorter? This sounds very strange to me. Why would one want dialogue in this film? And would the film be as haunting and touching if the escape was shorter? One has to get a real sense of the escape. The escape has to be a little long in order for the movie to work. This short is brilliant!

Beautiful camerawork in the opening and ending shots. I sensed from the beginning something was just not "right" when spoiler

Never saw the Twilight episode so can't compare it. I think this film was great.

I knew nothing about this movie, gotta admit that the ending came as a shock to me, even though this kind of twist has been overused nowadays.

I really liked this one. There's lots of great tension.

Actually, it can be confused with Twilight Zone, because they used the film as one of the episodes

I liked the first part and the ending, so if the middle part hadn't been so long i would have liked it even more. Could cut down the middle part with at least 4- 5 minutes.
