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.
