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'.

冲着主角们颜值三星，不过我是真没想到，男主身世居然贯穿了整个系列，太想看第四部还能撒什么狗血了
悬疑开局，后面转为反抗权势。咋一看感觉不错，但细一想，首先反派的做法实在太低级，其次女主自拍这么大的悬疑到后面竟然是无实际意义的……
好无聊…15分钟快进看完，感觉都浪费时间。
甚至怀疑男女主要在这无休无尽的续集里假戏真做🤦♀️
内容不够，想象力不够，不太好看。两分给查宁的屁股，一边一分。
如果我能多懂点美国梗就好了，等出了字幕还要二刷的电影
95%的废话，4%的莫名其妙话，只有1%有用的还睡着了没看到。其实看完光屁股那段就可以直接跳到结尾了。又一部话痨催眠片，鉴定完毕。2
有钱真的可以为所欲为，随随便便就能毁了别人的人生。
其实在现实生活里很多恋人遇到了异地恋，或者在这种类似相同选择的人都是这样。
好狗血的剧情…男主把自己的俩爸爸都揍了一顿，一直恨的那个人竟然还不是亲爹，身世好可怜，不过这俩爸爸也够牛逼，一个是校长，一个是顶尖出版社老总😅😅😅。再加上女主医院检查又说不能怀孕🤰…😅😅导演真是把所有套路都用上了
男主女主就是作，莫名其妙的做爱又莫名其妙的吵架，又没有暴露镜头，不是看在女主有点姿色的面子上只想打一星。
一下午看了三部，男主的人设真的很和我口味！！！虽然剧情很弱智，但并不影响我欣赏帅哥美女。男主为什么总穿黑色的衣服
就算是在寻宝的这个“宝”上弄出了点新意，其他的内容也实在是如同坟茔般腐旧。
網飛的亞洲在地生產，印尼的宗教文化之於族群性別的隱性影響被「有錢能使鬼推磨」的權勢壓迫沖淡了
有钱真的可以为所欲为，随随便便就能毁了别人的人生。
其实我觉得很真实啊
4.结尾实在太升华了
所以tessa的上司是hardin的亲爹，校长被戴绿帽，亲爹的老婆一直都知道此事，而hardin亲妈的现任老公还蒙在鼓里，然后hardin恨了那么多年的爹竟然恨错人了，狗血到上一代去了，绝了。
这玩意好上头 但我真没想到TMD还有第四部🌝
為了慶祝所謂的成就而丟了奬學金⋯印度尼西亞少見的沒有鬼的片⋯⋯
