An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge was a short story by Ambrose Bierce. Must have been adapted for TV.

An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge was a short story by Ambrose Bierce. Great story!! I recall there was a line which read "He could no longer feel the ground beneath his feet" ...the point in his fantasy where the floor dropped and he was being hung.

Yes, it was the last Twilight Zone episode, rarely shown in syndication.
Speaking of TV, I knew the lamestream media would get all choked up about Saddam.

IIRC, it was filmed in France using French Actors. Rod Serling became aware of it and thought it would fit into the TZ format. The rights were aquired it was broadcast as the last Zone to be shown. It is also the ONLY Zone that wasn't produced by Cayuga and Rod Serling had no involvement with it except for showing it here in America. It was still one of the better Zones.
