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'.

三浦春马和竹内结子依然活在银幕上，真的感受到了某种情怀
熟悉的配方熟悉的味道，依然是我预判你对我的预判
20220530 都玩到欧洲了，剧情已经很无聊了，麻酱不来个比基尼说不过去啊！
不反转就不是达子了 一如既往的精彩！他们才是行业英雄！期待明年看到系列新作！！！
很无聊，为反转而反转，而且要把前作所有人物都写进去，还得加新人物，但很粉丝。消磨时间不错
这一对 终于双方见了父母 结婚了。有点像电视剧的收尾的感觉。如果没看过电视剧的话估计蛮难接上剧情的。。前面的音乐太多太长，后面又几乎没有背景音乐，在电影院吃个爆米花都有声。。整体就很普通。
东出比起两年前真的丑了好多，这就是出轨的福报吗
剧情1星，两位帅气的脸庞+2星，昨天看完今天就+12，影院全面关停的侥幸心理加2星。（别管了，在现在这个时代能磕一点点糖都是我的福😢。
年度爽剧又开始啦，经费燃烧得很厉害啊。无脑欣赏马耳他风景快乐
虽然……但是……这个系列每次能圆回来就还行，反正都是闹着玩，够欢乐就好。
3.5 看到最后果然是治愈系啊（本来半程的时候想弃了，没想到接连反转，被编剧骗了！！！

我不知道好不好看，我作為粉絲是大！滿！足！
依然是延續系列原汁原味的反轉爽片，結構上倒是做了些新嘗試，類似回針法式的多視角敘事，可惜不是嚴格意義上的推理作品，不然是會讓人看得非常過癮，而且系列內橫向對比，又難免給人玩得還不夠開的觀感。雖然每一個單獨的特寫鏡頭都加了濾鏡磨皮，長澤雅美還是明顯帶有疲憊感，表演上也多少有些用力，不如一開始演達子時的鬆弛和放飛了。
好看，有点初看电视剧时候的感觉了，伪装骗术和煽情彩蛋都不错

做的还不错的一个系列，反正充满欢笑，也映照梦想。真的是日本难得的商业系列电影了。
马耳他啊 什么时候能去呢｜ 局中局已经习惯了 但只要这个系列一直拍 演员和观众都会一直跟着瞎开心吧 麻酱真是什么衣服都能驾驭 赤星你醒醒啊赤星 欺诈师说大道理 谁能扛得住呢
没带期待值进电影院，看完出剧场已被感动。剧情很童话，向家人出轨顺风顺水，成年人的童话。不过长崎两人起床那一幕，和早上阿达亲在家做饭被睡迷糊的黑泽从身后抱住，这些小细节画面总能戳到我的萌点。一个王子和曾魔法师的happyend。就是一些镜头私认为镜头光圈实在开得太过了。
