Cavalcade is like an early version of This Happy Breed (Noel Coward was 33). Diana Wynyard (one of those stare into the distance breed), Clive Brook, Una O'Connor, Herbert Mundin, Beryl Mercer, Merle Tottenham, Ursula Jeans. Wynyard though Oscar nominated - and film, Lloyd and art direction won.
Directed by the unremarkable Lloyd, with a memorable war montage by (William) Cameron Menzies and shot by Ernest Palmer (it is actually a US production, for Fox, so that probably is the American Ernest Palmer not the British one).
The stripy seaside entertainer could be straight out of Family Guy.
