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'.

壕溝夜襲為了避免召集槍火而雙方進行白刃肉搏以及帶隊情報官為了救下新兵甘願動用轉輪而招惹MG火力被打成篩子犧牲是比較出彩的部分。
导演还是有才的，只是剧情太怪了，怪到引人深思
哈哈哈居然比我想象中的要好看！（去掉狗血的结尾的话）期待明年北美小时代4奇葩上映。
一晚上連看3部 只想問…第4部什麼時候來…（狗頭）
出4照样看…只是为了看颜值了………剧情………嗯，wattpad水平
能看睡也是没谁了，导演你是玩嗨了，考虑过观众的感受了么？！最好的是第一部，至今记忆犹新！
OMG 竟然还有续集 这部感觉比2好一点点吧 但真的还是太狗血啦 多一星给男女主的颜值叭
Hardin真的好帅好欲可狼可奶，有时候觉得他真的好可怜🥺明显爱Tessa比Tessa爱他多，女主总故意惹别的男的逼Hardin爆发，然后又要怪男主不懂事🙂第三部看下来一点也没觉得她有任何为爱牺牲🙂do的片段太少了且尺度不够大🙂
咩咩队立大功。动作戏还行，就是故事情节太沙雕了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
什么玩意，男女主一年比一年发福，特别是那个女主，怎么就变成这种样子了
这电影每一部都看了，第一部还挺好看后面越来越极端化吵架一次打一次炮，尺度越来越大不同的场景打炮超乎你的想象，不知道的还以为我在看五十度系列
笑死怎么出了第三部，然后看到片尾to be continued 两眼一黑
看个电影看出连续剧的感觉了，总想看下一部！
我他妈看个开头就决定给一星了。带英帝国的逻辑就是死俄国人不算死人，死英国人才算死人是吧。所以只要俄国继续参战不是带英单挑德国就是高尚正义的是吧。这种事怎么现在都不蔽着人了？还拍进电影里了？
看了谷阿莫，人物关系混杂，无数巧合全员挂，好疯的作品～
哈哈哈哈哈哈这也太拉垮了吧这剧情 啥玩意啊 第二季导演拍吻戏拍的很有感觉 这一季拍的很烂 剧情也很烂
激情动作太假！
可太绝了，家人们！第一部第二部第三部都已经看完了，期待第四部啊啊啊，简直是颜狗的福利，男女主颜值非常在线啊，尤其是男主，，剧情也不错，建议直接出个电视剧连续剧吧，太爱了！！！！！！！第四部赶紧的！！！！
金士曼这个译名总听着像卖表的……🤔
男女主颜值又有又下降了！脸盲觉得男主爸爸和隔壁大叔有点像，没想到真是他亲爹 男女主不狗血了 改爸妈之间狗血了 男主太幼稚了 还没安全感 未来矛盾肯定一堆 居然还有第四部
