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'.

这种才是超英电影，女主角演技不错.66/100
女主角全程智商在线？？？最后跑路的时候不用枪废掉歹徒行动能力就是智商暂时掉线的那一刻吧。
话少x话痨的组合永远有趣（东京男子居然是山下智久演的
小制作，但可以让人做到不玩手机一直看下去！！
挺搞笑的，就是后面剧情拐的太全家欢，有点拉
为什么不先制服，或者限制其行动能力，再或者直接干掉呢。
暴风雪山庄模式，氛围营造，节奏把控都挺好，反转也不生硬，唯一的缺点是经费不足还是如何，夜晚戏有点太暗了。
第二个赞叹是小女孩与中年女人的过往孽缘，真是让人感叹「因果轮回」。
感觉女主磕了药才战斗力翻倍的，所以。。。然后内什么，车里藏一个螺丝刀能救命啊哈哈
反派执着于碎叨叨+总要把女主留到最后杀+创造条件给女主反杀机会。成本小，逻辑差，故事线刻意不合常理。差评。
3.5 man of Tokyo竟然是山下智久？？？
一定程度上来说，节奏还算不错。但演员的一些奇怪举动着实有点摸不着头脑
勉强及格。后半段有些无聊。
中规中矩，有点超预期，也有一些俗套吧，比如黑人biss之类的。剧透：全片最大笑点居然是美国警察！有些段落还蛮磕ash和darby的，可惜ash不做人~
和乌龙特工差不多的套路，还是熟悉的碎嘴动作喜剧，冒险成长之旅，但不是很理解剧情，为什么多伦多和迈阿密两个杀手，杀配角毫不手软，但却不杀彼此，导致有后顾之忧，为了硬走剧情不合理。
非常扎实的剧本 戏剧冲突和剧情推进都环环相扣 传统地把一个故事讲好的电影 对峙时刻的紧张博弈和小反转的设定也显得更加出彩 最后还是传统的结局收尾
小成本制作能拍成这样还可以了，女主越看越美
如果没有思路拍了。那就可以去学习。真的不必拍烂片。
看预告片以为是偏推理/心理向的，但看着看着觉得进度条撑不住啊……果然揭谜之后的一半就不好看了。而且出场人物寥寥数人，反派率是不是太高了点啊。
1.女主有自身困境 2.女主陷入更大的外部困境 3.外部困境层层加码+反转 4.较量出结局 这个片子还是很讲规矩的 在这个设定和成本下 已经很好看了
