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'.

我都不知道我为啥要把这个看完。。。给女主挽尊加个星
还行吧，剧情进展有条有序，演员演技也过关，小成本复仇片
黑夜，大雪，山林，小屋。这些元素混在一部片子里，对味！
女主很在线，脑子很清楚，这件事告诉我们，不要相信陌生人。后半截节奏乱了，有些拖沓。
挺简单的情节，拍的能让人看下去，还可以，除了最后面的警察和女主的故意失败外其他挺好。
剧情／犯罪／小说改编，无评分，15岁以下青少年儿童禁止观看，满15岁、18岁以下未成年人须在成年家长陪同下观看（分级警告）！95分钟版本！
这种剧情每次都除主角外全军覆没，能不能反套路一下，给我个惊喜？
比想象中好看，用心的小成本制作，女主演技不错，故事情节紧凑，反转也在情理之中。7分！
暴风雨山庄模式的经典套路，看多了，只能给6分
2022年第2部新片。
6.1/10电影完成度还是可以的，节奏也很紧凑，故事比较饱满，但太多细节经不起推敲，逻辑不通，很多不符合常理的地方，尤其是最后女主当着警察面开枪那里，简直拉垮。夸一夸女主演技吧，还是值得加一星的。
人有点儿少，生命力也不强，主要靠节奏，但又稍显拖沓
You should not be nailed down when you're holding a real gun in hand.
坏人死于话多，一部惊悚片拍的却不让人紧张，就太easy了，不算上佳，但可以看看
还行，套路片，大概都猜得到。一开始我就知道不能相信任何一个人，包括孩子哈哈。有个短评说得很好，最后有给毒品正名嫌疑！！
不太好。设定为困兽斗的故事 密室小成本 还主打血腥惊悚 拍出来却没有任何惊喜。别人的密室可以增加冲突紧凑性 但这里的密室只会让人感觉经费不够。第一次所谓的“juice”要到女主的手被钉住了 前面一个小时从发现小女孩到开始认清坏人都在拖拖拉拉。还有值得一提的是 好像这电影若有似无地宣扬了吸毒的好处 磕了药不怕痛还可以智商提升及中枪不死 实属不该这样啊。不过女主越来越有味道 头发好多 在雪地里躺着一头浓密卷发散开 还挺好看的。
故事转折曲奇，很爽的爽片。女主翘钉子算是全片名场面了。
小成本小场景惊悚小品🫤前半段铺垫无惊无喜，ash真实身份暴露的转折点开始带节奏😦杀戮戏异常紧凑干脆🫣女主留下的毒品关键时刻起了作用🫢而且她真的不怕冷啊🤷🏻♀️
有点失望，还是乌龙特工比较好看，凯文哈特真的说话好快哈哈哈哈，整体有点平庸了，而且有的地方很不合逻辑，5分
22年的片可以了，女主表演细腻，惊悚部分不傻，比想象中好，评分有点点低了
