"Cavalcade" is a 1933 film that takes a historical view of English life from New Year's Eve 1899 through New Years Day 1933. It is told from the point of view of well-to-do Londoner residents Jane and Robert Marryot (played by Diana Wynyard and Clive Brook). The film chronicles events including the Second Boer War, the death of Queen Victoria, the sinking of the "Titanic" and the Great War. The film was directed by Frank Lloyd; Reginald Berkeley wrote the screenplay based on the original play by Noel Coward. Fox Movietone newsreel cameramen were sent to London to record the original stage production as a guide for the film version, which may account in part for the faithfully stagy nature of the final film.

The movie is one of only two Best Picture winners not currently available on DVD in Region 1 (the other being " Wings").

Awards

"Cavalcade" won three Academy Awards, for Best Picture, Best Director (Frank Lloyd), and Best Art Direction (William S. Darling). Diana Wynyard was also nominated for Best Actress for her role in this picture. Despite being a Best Picture Oscar winner and widely spoken of as one of the finest films ever made at the time, as well as being influential on later "Upstairs, Downstairs"-type dramas including "Forever and a Day" and Coward's own "This Happy Breed", the film version of "Cavalcade" has fallen into obscurity.
