description: A critical analysis from six different writers of the Ambrose Bierce short story 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge' that includes the text of the short story. An introduction to the film based on the short story with a shot analysis of several key scenes. The book concludes with a criticism of the films by five different writers. Included throughout the book are black and white key scene shots from the film. This book helps to understand the artistry of the short story and how it differentiates from the artistry of the film. It also shows why a director picked certain shots, set-ups, close-ups and the editing that is involved in a scene to tell the story that he wanted to tell, as opposed to the story that the short story writer wanted to tell.
