Offscreen Notes
More on An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge
If my analysis of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge in issue 18/5 was not enough for you, I was contacted by a fellow fan of the film, Patricia D’Ascoli, after she read my piece and graciously provided a link to her own analysis, a comparison between the version that appeared on Alfred Hitchcock Presents in 1959 and the version that aired on Twilight Zone and how they differ from the Bierce short story. The paper served a pedagogical tool to help her Literary Criticism students cultivate their analytical writing skills. Here essay appeared in the Winter 2014 edition of the literary newsletter, Connecticut Muse (it begins on page 4). [the link appears to be dead now, alas]
