memorable

Actually, I have not seen this DVD. I saw this on the Twilight Zone when it was originally on (how long ago was that, 40 years or so?). I still remember it vividly, and can still hear the song "A Livin' Man" in my head. The whole thing is haunting, and was to this then-prepubescent girl. I do plan on ordering it, and if you haven't seen it, I recommend you buy it as well. March 26, 2008

Classic story, but almost unwatchable

This must have been transferred hastily from film to video, then to DVD. In any case, it is so dark that almost all detail disappears. In some sections it's hard to make out what's going on at all. This version was produced by Monterey Media. Beware!

It was a big moment for me when I originally saw the film in grade school. Bierce's stuff is never easy but always worth it, and this story has a classic twist ending. I was really looking forward to seeing it again. I'm very disappointed.

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge

This powerful film was first shown in the USA on Rod Serling's "Twilight Zone", with no commercial break, in the 1960's. Until just in the past 6 months I had not found anyone who had ever seen it. After the excitement of finding another living soul to discuss it with, I did another search on Amazon and found it available. It has been locked away in a vault by the family of Ambrose Bierce who wrote the original story. This incredible film is in B/W, and should only be in B/W, has no dialog, only sound effects, and a very short music accent. It takes place during the Civil War and is as visually addictive as the story itself. To tell the story line is to ruin the impact of viewing it. I highly recommend it and believe it will become one of your treasured videos. December 22, 2007

This is too much...I won't be reviewing anymore.

This is too much and I won't be reviewing anything anymore unless you go back to the simpler war....period. December 8, 2007

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge

Saw this years ago on 16mm and loved it then. Perhaps a bit less so this time around - maybe because I knew the ending? Nevertheless, it was still a good one. October 24, 2007
