Absolute abysmal that is only saved but one unintentional joke involving the titanic that got a chuckle out of me.

Just another old Oscar winner that is really a hard watch. Even though cavalcade is much better movie compared to other Oscar winner before, it still has many flaws that make you question why was it even been nominated when there was so much other great classics from the same year.
