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'.

这题材很难拍难看吧 对于我就算拍成纪录片我都可以 老詹要是客串了就好了
合格的运动类商业片，但是剧情略俗，放大版百万富翁。
讲述篮球教练的电影很多，讲述球探的电影还是第一次看。
冲突平淡，剧情老套，到40多分钟才开始看得进去，多一星给配乐。后面几场球赛拍得可以，亚当桑德勒眼里有光，不是为了他说实话不会看
球星、教练和解说的全明星阵容保证了真实的NBA体验，但亚当桑德勒才是最重要的那个人。桑德勒是尊重并热爱篮球的，而竞技体育的魅力也会给予回报的。
传记片加分，这么多球星客串加一星，中规中矩
影片里小库里现在已经不在76人队了，而西蒙斯直接没出镜，看来当时就已经决裂了哈哈
太好看了，当下NBA的背景，很多球星和王朝名人堂元老都出演了！！！
虽然没那么健康，但是又爽又快乐
Bo最后在左臂上纹了橡树，又选了22号球衣，就很感人
就像吃炸鸡喝可乐一样
粉丝电影。亚当桑德勒面儿忒儿大了吧，篮球圈的重磅客串不少啊。爱德华兹：我就是要演小坏蛋，倍儿爽
中规中矩体育片，爱篮球的值得一看。伯乐与千里马的相遇拍得一般，分别倒是拍出感觉了，机场球员看着教练不见身影那段，使电影提升不少。但转折太快，就和全片一样，有很多剧作技巧上的安排，就是处理得较粗糙。
典型鸡汤片，但NBA浓度实在太浓了。
运动电影用货真价实的演员拍出来的质感就是好 这点降维打击同类型片子 剧作和个别情节转合中规中矩 节奏可以 制作完成度不错 反正自己最熟悉的题材和内容 看爽了加半星
本身素质也就三星，NBA加1星！能把NBA球探挖掘全世界新秀+拉到美国培养的模式+一大堆现役球员和管理层参演+剧情还能反转2次以上，相当不错了（诶不对……男主现在真的在绿凯打球？！）
风格不喜，明明可以拍得很好，却非要拍着玩。
虽然是美式运动片的一贯套路，中间的曲折离奇最终都会走向成功，但过程中挥洒汗水，一步步努力超越自己还是挺燃的。
我看过的第1420部电影，《必胜球探》我给7.8分。
演的拍的都非常一般。
