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'.

到最后男主终于懂了，懂了什么？我不懂，一般吧。
敌人都是来自内部，看着很强的一个团伙，自身却有很多的问题，引得团灭。。。。。
女儿通过香水判断出凶手是女主，还以为她能聪明点儿，结果更弱智，为了个水壶就把命送了，女主都吐槽她是笨蛋
一星给巧夺天工的保险柜，一星给优雅迷人的欧洲风光。
《活死人军团》的前传，丧尸只存在电视新闻和男主的梦里。
作为一部犯罪电影。槽点挺多的，人物不够立体，团队默契度也不够。感情戏来得太突然。开锁全靠听，保险箱里只有钱。。。
零食晚上或休闲午后，看一下可以。但是，就那样吧
01:21:22是个尿点，在尿点之前其实都很不错，最高级的食材往往只需要最简单的烹饪方式，俗套的团伙劫案犯罪也是为了衬托这个锁匠和保险箱谜题，节奏很利索，很好入门，后半截却急转直下，在解谜之外注水狗血剧情，从神偷军团变成了我和我的神偷女友，重心偏移不看也罢。
男主在活死人军团的角色定位我都忘记了，大抵确实是一个不重要的死人的前面的小故事罢了。
小百合杀手，有点学杀手寓言内味，还有某导演的对话风格
开锁的过程应该再具象一点，否则一点紧张刺激感都没有。我反而更喜欢满脸雀斑的白妞。
感觉按照网剧看还是合格的。剩下的就没有什么亮点了。哦，对了，弥桑黛换了几身衣服挺好看，A版的狼叔没有什么存在感。
比较典型的商业动作电影，不无聊，也不太惊喜，保险箱的来源比本应是重点的开保险箱更有吸引力，开保险箱的过程过于简单了，BGM用瓦格纳的 女武神的骑行可还行
男主在活死人军团的角色定位我都忘记了，大抵确实是一个不重要的死人的前面的小故事罢了。
娱乐性还行，风景可以，颜值可以，卖萌可以。感觉男2和开车的哥们完全工具人。。。
感觉平平无奇，开保险柜这个噱头一部电影用三次就很无趣了
开锁的过程应该再具象一点，否则一点紧张刺激感都没有。我反而更喜欢满脸雀斑的白妞。
讲道理，除了剧情传统和人物登场的时候的怀旧亮相，关键的追车场景也太傻了吧，停车上车两秒，不比追车两分钟要快？
保险柜前的谈情说爱和磨磨叽叽让我忍不住抖腿
还算不错，剧情比较老套简单，好在演员颜值不错，演技在线。最精彩的是保险箱内齿轮转动，层层机关契合而推进的场面，华丽流畅，比起剧情更加吸引眼球，为这个多➕一星。
