The Twilight Zone episode you cite is my favorite: “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.”
It was also one of the first – if not the first – show on TV to be shown without any dialogue. Lots of sounds and musical score but no talking. Priceless!
Again I learned a new word today…Although my dictionary was certain that I was misspelling it and made me scroll down to what I had actually typed before “Fornix” was explained.(Even here the spell check has it underlined).
I just saw a reference to the Owl Creek incident on a wacko alien/ghost “reality” program on cable. It was shown as a hanging but was it was indicated as a real event…I wondered at the time how they “knew” it was real since the guy was dead. These wackos are completely out of touch with sanity.

That’s the strangest deus ex machina I have ever seen.

From the movie “Always”:
Pete: By the way, how did I get out of that one?
Hap (sadly): You didn’t.
Pete: Well, either I’m crazy, or I’m dead.
Hap: You’re not crazy, Pete.
