For a
Best Picture Oscar winner,
Cavalcade has certainly fallen into obscurity.
Reginald Berkeley[?] wrote the screenplay based on the original play by
Noel Coward. A couple lives through their marriage from
1899 to
1933, and watches the events of history affect them, or as it tagline goes "The march of time measured by a mother's heart!" The lead roles were played by
Diana Wynyard and
Clive Brook[?], supported by a cast of unknowns.
The film won three Oscars
Diana Wynyard was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress.
