On my list of `Ten Best Films of All Time'
This is a beautifully-made film, nearly silent, based on three Civil War stories by Ambrose Bierce. It is one of the most powerful antiwar films ever made.
It was shown in full at one of the early New York Film Festivals (in the 1960s), and the portion known as `An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge' has been shown as a short more frequently.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to get hold of a copy, although the New York Public Library does have one available for viewing on site.
It has long been on my personal list of the `Ten Best Films of All Time.'
