Cavalcade

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

• Best Picture - Winfield Sheehan, studio head
• Best Art Direction - William S. Darling
• Best Director - Frank Lloyd

Diana Wynyard was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress.
