The second filmed version of Bierce's short story (the first one, titled "The Bridge," was made by Charles Vidor in 1929), virtually unknown, preceding both the well known 1959 version filmed for the fifth season of Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone" and the French version made in 1962 by Robert Enrico.
According to the 1956-57 Film Review of Student Productions presented by Department of Cinema and Delta Kappa Alpha at the University of Southern California (USC), the film was part of the Productions of the Graduate Workshop in the fall of 1956. Laid in is an invitation to premiere screening held at CineManor, where USC's California National Honorary Cinema Fraternity, Delta Kappa Alpha, hosted screenings and social events. Douglas W. Gallez served as President of the Alpha USC Chapter at the time. Not in IMDB.
