Is 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge' the precursor to, or indeed the script of 'Incident at Owl Creek', (which was largely silent), the film which shared a billing with 'The Birds' when it first appeared in the UK in the 60's. Does anyone know?

Yes, and according to Wikipedia, the screenplay was written by Robert Enrico, based on the short story by Ambrose Bierce. I just watched the movie last month. Unfortunately, the copy I saw was in bad shape (from Netflix), and presently there may not be a better one available.
