Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

c.a.o他妈浪费时间好久没看过这么sb的电影了
很好看呀！！Lei妞yyds，剧情节奏也ok，有反转，即使是“it's always the husband”and“woman helps woman”这种常见戏码我也很爱看！只是最后结尾说到可以通过监控和飞行记录查出凶手这里显然是个bug以及女主每次把自己陷入很危险的境地比较蠢之外，其他我都觉得很好看，尤喜欢“Your heart is your guide”这个核心价值观
c.a.o他妈浪费时间好久没看过这么sb的电影了
反转都在意料之内，凶手也太好猜测了，此类片子越是凶神恶煞的角色，越不是凶手，只是干扰观众的棋子，俗招用烂了，观众也变聪明了，反而这种耍小招的电影怎么看都傻里傻气。★☆
剧情没啥新意 景色都还挺有意思的 但是最后那个南美捞男是找gay去了吗哈哈哈哈哈哈
漏洞百出的悬疑啊……出轨就出轨嘛 搞得我以为是暗网饭迈人口呢
本来就是小众文艺片 观众寥寥 第一次通过观察别的观影者感受到了什么叫如坐针毡 我自己也差不多吧 不时有人离场 完全理解啊 整个片子风暴救援实在是无聊至极 哪怕是冲着对户外的热情看本片也感觉实在是想按快进。可惜影院里没发快进。不可否认 当快结束前 回放女主抱着煤气中毒的两个女儿时 泪崩。然后片尾放出原型的时候 很感动很难受。本片的意义是好的 只是 这个故事 拍成电影 真的很无聊。。。爬山探险这种东西都是主动体验 看别人体验真的效果差很多。就可看性本片只有一星。主题五星。平均下来三星。🤣
可能拯救别人也是她在自我救赎吧。大自然越壮美，渺小却丰富的人就越易触动我。（看完想hiking了）
看完“唐唐说电影”剧透来的，下面附上链接：https://b23.tv/BBpYelg。
为了反转而反转的技巧真的让人恶心，就像看了一部不带剧情的A片一样。不过好在最后的情感的出口还算正常，没有为情节去扭曲闺蜜情。网飞的前身大概就是腾讯的现在，用分母去浪投找分子，祝你成功！
撑不起电影的重量，就电视剧集的程度是合格的
挺有意思，感觉比原版好看，二妹看到厨师吐痰的表情好搞笑，怀疑人生，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
别因为豆瓣评分低就不看了
看过gossip girl 之后，看什么都是queen b
大奥米最近怎么都是一个人演电影，是演技太好了吗，这种类型电影都找她，我已经看了她这样的电影两部了，也没厌。
She was a slut. That's what men call women who won't sleep with them!
老实说我觉得女主的最后的男友好帅。最爱老套he！
还可以，虽然有些情节稍微有点降智，以及查豆瓣的时候被短评剧透一脸很不爽，有些人真的是啥都要显摆啊，悬疑片的短评也剧透真服了
比例有点失衡，三兄妹在穷困潦倒那三个月的转变应该多着笔墨。
有些选择有些扯。比如结尾的时候，证据在手，主角为何不先跑？非得当面对质...
