Name of school film where man will be hanged and rope "breaks"?!
Question: I saw this in school about 30 years ago.
A man is about to be hanged. The rope breaks. The man falls in a river and swims away while being chased. He gets away from the people chasing him. Other things happen where he is trying to get away.
In the end, the viewer sees that this was all a fantasy of the man about to be hung. The final moment is the man hanging.

That's based on the story An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce
Edit: The one you watched could have been this one...

Edit 2: The movie that I provided a link to above was edited to be made into an episode of The Twilight Zone
The movie is "The Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge," It's based off the book of the same name by Ambrose Bierce. It has a bit of an emotional ending as he's running towards his loved one, only to realize it was his final moment, as you said.
