At least #TheKillers doesn't do recursive flashbacks, like #TheLocket
#TheLocket
I’m sure Nancy will learn her lesson and live an upstanding and honest life from now on… Oh? Oh no.

I'd say #TheLocket is much more melodrama than film noir, and the psychology in it is pretty simplistic, but it's still a very enjoyable movie. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #TheLocket
Oh, I forgot one level of flashback. And this next guy is going ignore Dr. Blair and marry her too. You just can't stop these guys from marrying her.
There's something about Nancy.
They committed the wrong person! #TCMParty #NoirAlley #TheLocket
After a tragedy, the Blairs move to England. The Doctor wonders why Nancy wanted to go to this out-of-the-way place. Probably nothing to do with the old jewelry collection...with the royal locket. 😬
Dr. Blair analyzes Mr. Clyde in a convincing argument to prove Nancy is Just Fine. We are out of the flashbacks now, I think.
Ah, now that Nancy has discussed the incident from her youth, they can go on to a happy and healthy marriage!
Somehow I have to think the "B" word Nancy's mother really used wasn't "beast." #TCMParty #NoirAlley #TheLocket
Good noir lighting in this apartment as we learn about Nancy for the first time.
Whoops...flashback number 3, into her childhood.
And now a flashback within a flashback within a flashback.... #TCMParty #NoirAlley #TheLocket
The candle on the table is grossing me out

Begin flashback number 2: Man warning the man about Nancy who is warning the husband to be about Nancy.
And now a flashback within a flashback. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #TheLocket
