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'.

就一群蠢蛋呗，绑架能做成这样也真是不得了了。至于女主，也真是稍显离谱了一点。还期待小女孩才是大boss杀完所有人呢。
这纷纷扬扬的漫天大雪好喜欢！ 另外 ，习惯之后，感觉女主的小内双眼皮真好看
"No one's getting through until the storm passes."
好低成本，传统的暴风雪山庄模式剧本，期待放得不高的话就还好。节奏和分镜可能会有一些问题，刺激点似乎都没达到。
雪下的也不大，天气也不冷。两个人一车来的还能装不认识呢？最后警察占据主动，硬是被达比给送个人头。这年头真正的小成本佳作是找不到了。另外那个艾德是24里那个总统吧？
浪费了这么好的创意。暴风雪之夜，被绑架的小孩，被困的休息站里看上去都有嫌疑的四个陌生人。看开头的三分之一，本以为会是女主角斗智斗勇终于找出谁是绑匪的故事，谁知道后面2/3一泻千里，变成了一个老套的惊悚片，失望。亚裔女主角演的真不错，加一星。
原本三星，为什么要有那样一个败兴的臆想式结尾呢？
这种才是超英电影，女主角演技不错.66/100
6.5分，小空间的恐怖片，成本如此，一个晚上，5、6个人物之间，线索有反转有冲突，不功不过。有些段落还挺血腥的，女主算是智商在线，不过有几次关键时刻略显犹豫，但是抗击打能力犹如战神转世可能磕点药也是个原因，战斗直觉堪称完美。不管在小女孩眼里还是观众眼里就是超级英雄。女主应该与父亲关系非常亲密，父亲战后饮弹自尽对女主产生毁灭性打击，于是女主自我放弃沉迷毒品。相信这次以后女主会找回自己，继续勇敢精彩地活下去。
看完真探之后对woody喜欢的很。 这个电影后面的武打镜头有点琐碎了 好像想把所有元素都用一遍 但是会觉得乱和拖
剧情有经过精心设计，女主要救Jay是补偿自己对母亲的不可抵达。拔钉子前再吸食drugs很多此一举，有美化嫌疑。
小成本暴风雪山庄，人物少、场景简单，故事不啰嗦，反转也是预期中的效果，整体仍然是套路中的惊悚电影。
其实挺无聊的，得二倍速，有些地方可以笑一笑。
这种剧本真是很无聊，结局还是那么老套，反派又是死于话多，警察又是龙套，女主光环严重闪瞎观众双眼，顺便还附赠油腻美式家庭和解团圆。
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。

反派最后话多，这种桥段我猜在电影学院里肯定会有个什么学术术语的，比如“找死吟唱”之类的。
只不过元素多却没有很好的把气氛做好，导致我根本就没有紧张起来，这是这类题材的失败，所以说不差也不好，中规中矩吧
暴风雪山庄模式，合格的惊悚电影，剧情有反转也还算能自圆其说，女主基本上是一己之力对抗劫匪拯救小女孩，整个看下来也是很机智神勇了，虽然过程中屡败屡战，边调整战术边伺机行动，这种主动出击反杀还是比较过瘾的，起码观众看着畅快点。
