Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Cavalcade is a 1933 drama film adapted from a play by Noël Coward, directed by Frank Lloyd and starring Diana Wynyard and Clive Brook.It tells the story of early 20th century England, from December 31, 1899 to December 31, 1932. The story centers on the upper-class Marryot family, headed by Robert and Jane (Brook and Wynward), and their servants, Alfred and Ellen Bridges. They go off to war—the Boer War and World War I—fall in love, get married, suffer death and tragedy, and take rides on the RMS Titanic.Cavalcade was actually an American production, shot in Hollywood, although it featured a mostly British cast. It won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director for Lloyd. From a latter-day perspective, it caused an Award Snub or three. Other nominees from that ceremony, such as 42nd Street and I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang, are better remembered today. (Meanwhile, the best-remembered film from that year, King Kong, wasn't even nominated.) In fact, Cavalcade might be the least well-remembered Best Picture winner ever, due in part to its sporadic home video status. It has only been released in the United States on DVD twice, as part of a 75th anniversary 20th Century Fox box set and in 2013 on an 80th anniversary edition Blu-Ray combo pack.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Alone in a Crowd: Just as the bells are ringing to celebrate the Armistice on Nov. 11, 1918, Diana gets the telegram announcing that her son Joe has been killed in combat. She wanders, dazed with grief, through the wild throng of people celebrating the end of the war.

The Alcoholic: Turns out it was not a good idea for Alfred Bridges to leave service with the Marryots and go into business for himself by running a pub. He becomes increasingly belligerent and is killed when he wanders drunk into the street and is run over by a carriage.

Ambiguously Gay: A montage illustrates the decline of Victorian morality standards after the end of the Great War. The most surprising shot in the movie is a glimpse of what appears to be a gay nightclub. A woman wearing a High-Class Glass is holding another woman's hand, and a man is putting a bracelet on another man's wrist.
