- Synopsis:
Made in commemoration and celebration of the Jubilee of King George V, this is the story of the first twenty-five years of his reign, told through the many travels of a penny that was minted in the year of his accession: 1910. Through a series of individual stories, 'Royal Cavalcade' covers a period of striking change in every area of life - from the suffragette movement to the trenches of World War One, the effects of the Depression to single events such as the first ever Royal Command Performance, featuring Anna Pavlova and George Robey. Combining newsreel footage and dramatised re-enactments and boasting some of the era's most popular stage and screen stars, this little-seen documentary feature is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements, in it as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. - Actors:
