Hollywood Cavalcade

In 1913, aspiring film director Michael Connors (Don Ameche) discovers Broadway newcomer Molly Adair (Alice Faye) and convinces her to let him manage her career. The course of their resulting partnership -- and meteoric rise to fame -- parallels Hollywood's own development, from its vaudevillian beginnings to "The Jazz Singer" and the arrival of sound in 1927. But Connors secretly loves Adair, and when she marries leading man Nicky Hayden (Alan Curtis), it may tear their friendship apart.
