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'.

结局的线索给的有点牵强，但是还算可以接受，如果接受了，就还算一部挺反转的片子
为啥评分这么低呀，主线故事非常完整，人物不多但是出场都有自己的线，剧情百转千回 把谁是凶手的悬念压倒了最后
悬疑、转折是这部故事片的最大特点。究竟是谁杀了贝斯的闺蜜？不到最后，还真不好说。贝斯有“产后抑郁症”，赴约与闺蜜度假，卷入闺蜜离奇死亡的漩涡，脱不了干系。挺有趣的故事，价值观也很正。除了“主角光环”稍大，没有太多硬伤。值得一看的悬疑惊悚片。
这电影就离谱，故作深沉，不如拍成情色片，根本不知道在讲些什么，情也不纯色也不够，演员定位不清晰，九十分钟的电影看着比3个小时的电影还累
2022.4.**闺蜜和老公出轨，闺蜜被老公杀了
人物刻画太表面？立意深度不够，总感觉是社会三流人士永远跟上流有一层隔膜。btw，第一次看这种题材的台湾电影。
好看是好看，但是，从《走到尽头》到《破局》，我还没忘记剧情呢，你又来了？！！！
在网飞点开时以为是个电视剧，我还想说这一集节奏真快
听说韩版更好看 但这部依然值得5颗星 爽片
除去bug有点多，还是比较好看的，虽然嫌疑人换来换去，但是真理是不变的，不用动脑分析，可以轻松观看的一部电影，演员基本没造型，还是挺敬业的。
好看 这个国家的风景绝绝子啊 克罗地亚 记住了
最大輸家 莫過於那個警察 想偷吃女 沒吃到 還跌個狗吃屎 然後就摔死了
看到预告有Croatia风光，为了19年Croatia的回忆来看这个电影！还是那么美！
警察全程无脑 亲人全员背叛 路人莫名热心 以及 出门在外 住宿地的隐私到底该怎么保护 就emmmmmmmm
翻拍韩片 A Hard Day / 走到尽头，有几个场景简直一样。
女主好能打 ！也是 要不是那么能打 找到点啥就硬刚对峙也活不到片尾😅
这里面的男性都很不抗打，一推一踢就毫无反抗之力
做爱不磕药，喝酒不开车；拆迁不蛮干，怀孕不抽烟；五官比三观正，感情比剧情歪；挨得了毒打，看得了夕阳；终末就一句靠北，再盼美好未来
这个剧本相当的硬，翻拍好多次了，还是看的津津有味
就……挺扯的，5.5吧，就怪扯的，Zain到底是男一还是男二，感觉就是个工具人，强行推动剧情。各种反转的头都晕
