This is the first big film out of the Fox studio since Sheehan's return there and this is a big picture from and on every angle.

A loose collection of unfortunate events strung together to make a feature film sadly lacking a coherent theme.

Very much a part of our cinema heritage, Cavalcade deserves to be remembered more than it has been.

Nary a tear-jerking trick is missed (our family loses one son to the Titanic, the other to World War I), and the strangulation is compounded by the staginess since the film.

The first soap opera to win the Best Picture Oscar, Cavalcade, based on Noel Coward's long-running play tells the 30-year saga of a upper-class British family that loses both sons, the older in the Titanic tragedy, the younger in WWI.

It’s all very stiff-upper-lip stuff, but 70 years after it was made, it still remains a very rousing, moving experience.

Top Critic A creaky tearjerker filled with shrill messages about patriotism and anti-war feelings...

For solid acting, inventive cinematography, superb costuming and historic value, this is a great study.
