Movies Told Mostly in Flashback

  1. Twelve O’Clock High

Starts in 1949, when retired USAAF Major Harvey Stovall (Dean Jagger) spots a ‘Toby’ mug in an antique store. He purchases it and then bicycles out to the remains of the WWII aerodrome where he had been stationed as the adjutant of a squadron of B-17s. As he reminisces, the movie goes to flashback when the airfield was operational and the story plays out. At the end, the scene shifts back to 1949; Major Stovall places the mug on the mantle over the fireplace of the building that had been the officers’ club, then cycles away.
