Cavalcade (1933): 6th Oscar Winner for Best Picture

Cavalcade (1933)

Following Grand Hotel, Cavalcade was a good film to watch. The only major problem I had with it, was that it felt like they were trying to cram a ton of history into the film. This sort of made the film drag on, I felt. It was definitely interesting, but I think it was more a film for its time. It felt like they placed history together and tried to place a story over the top of it - sometimes this does work, but it didn't work for this film, I felt. If you're into history being represented in film, feel free to watch it.

Why did it win Best Picture? I believe it would have won it for the record on film of history and possibly its use of history and the story.
