Talk:An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge (film)

Fair use rationale for Image:Tz 142.jpg
Image:Tz 142.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Re: Preview for Next Week's Story
What's here is interesting, but couldn't someone find the preview portion of the previous week's Twilight Zone, i.e., promoting this show? (If, indeed, such was broadcast and still exists.) WHPratt (talk) 15:02, 13 May 2009 (UTC)


 * It exists, in the article for the previous week's episode:
 * Next time on The Twilight Zone, a departure from the norm. A program shot in its entirety in France. A film so special and so unique that for the first time in the five years we've been presenting The Twilight Zone we're offering a film shot by others. Adapted and directed by Robert Enrico. Winner of the Cannes Film Festival of 1962, as well as other major international awards. Ambrose Bierce's "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge."

 * D'oh! I didn't realize that every episode was documented.  Thanks.WHPratt (talk) 02:24, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Is the Twilight Zone version complete?
I saw no mention of the original running time. Unless it was less than 25 minutes to begin with, it must have been slightly edited to fit the TV show's time slot. Some deatil would be nice. WHPratt (talk) 15:04, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

IMDB says the original was 28 minutes. The Twilight Zone version must have been, originally, about 25 minutes, and it must be cut even further when it runs in a "modern" half-hour slot with many more commercials. WHPratt (talk) 15:17, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Only broadcast twice?
Whatever the agreement was, I saw this on the old Sci Fi channel when it first arrived on cable, complete with the nonstandard Rod Serling introduction explaining the film's origin. 69.134.206.104 (talk) 01:01, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

I too saw it air as a Twilight Zone rerun episode on WPIX "11 Alive" in New York City on a Saturday afternoon in the late 1970s. It may not be in the current syndicated package, but it must have been included in some of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.63.122.75 (talk) 00:29, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I have to disagree on this section, we need some kind of source backing it up. I saw it on syndication in Cleveland back in the 80s - more than once. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.35.224.179 (talk) 17:01, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

It was included in the SyFy Channel's Twilight Zone Marathon over the 2015-16 new year's holiday. WHPratt (talk) 23:56, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

It was also included in the 2022-23 New Year's marathon. 2601:204:D400:7310:5C6B:4F71:D2B0:CD0E (talk) 10:35, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

It is on at this moment as well, on the eve of 2024, so I believe this line can be excised. Zaathras (talk) 03:31, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Removed as it is not factually correct. Since no credible source was quoted, automatically removed as per Wikipedia MOS.--Abebenjoe (talk) 07:29, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

5 Episode is on Netflix
I want to point out that this episode has been included with all the other episodes of The Twilight Zone on Netflix. I don't know if this should be included or if it is too minor to update the article with — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beez1717 (talk • contribs) 03:42, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
