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'.

很还原原著，但东叔的这本原著我本身就没有很喜欢。
这种剧情演下去需要耗费演员多大的信念感啊，感觉巨扯。永野芽郁真的好适合哭戏，怎么做到每次哭都能挂两串泪珠在脸上的，かわいい～
冲着咩看的，看完之后只想说剧情挺扯的。明明可以拍成一个温情的好故事，结果我只看到了一个为了梦想抛妻弃子跑去巴西的亲爹，人傻钱多的二号爹，有灵气却任性的未婚夫，还有大部分时间都花枝招展却突然得绝症的妈。
一个大咖又一个大咖
真想不到有一天会对木村拓哉有好感，就觉得这年纪还有这状态真的好帅，泽部叔同样 。剧情，那咋说也比勿言好看吧，最起码不是靠嘴破案。
酒店宣传片竟然还能拍个第二部？我最大的疑惑是人命关天的事，警察办案还需要征询酒店的许可，哪个酒店会在警察面前强调顾客至上啊？
倒不用想着说推理有多强 但是故事很有趣 以及对酒店业者的刻画也很吸引人
以及 非要把大活人女主当个棒子接力，难道是因为她没成年就结婚了吗
前面细节还是挺好的，但是这个结局动机生搬硬凑令人失望…
好好自爱，别搞啥子接力棒。
一个和女儿没有血缘关系的母亲用婚姻的方式尽心尽力的为继女铺路……女孩遇上的每一个无血缘父亲都是善解人意的好心人。剧情虽然过于梦幻且催泪，仍不失为一个美好的童话。
真是长的一言难尽的难受，这种剧情，下一次是假面啥子？
为了石原里美撑完了一整部电影，可能是文化上真的有隔阂？我对于这种非血缘异性父女持警惕心理，遇到坏人真的会很可怕诶。。。虽然石原里美的这个角色是真的人很好🤔
现实童话，一度五星，后来上大学后重逢男主后跌到四星，最后揭秘ママ离开的真相和婚礼彻底沦为三星，逐渐说教，也是现实童话的通病啊。但！！！十元依然很美！！！谁能拒绝十元的笑和永野芽郁的泪呢！
日本酒店宣传片2，感觉和第一部比没多么出众也没多么不行。但这部最让我失望的是没有把麻酱的美拍出来呀！我是来看麻酱的呀！！
是两个主演的大饭但也打不出满分，虽然很喜欢很喜欢这个搭配，但是结尾那一幕还有宣传片才见得到的两人假面跳舞，本应该颜值爆杀的场景真的被我拓的法令纹搞得出戏，必须安排20年前的我拓和10年前的我麻才适合这样的破案顺手谈恋爱戏码啊！然后悬疑一笑而过吧实在平淡，就是泽村叔长了张永不黑化的脸太好排除了，他什么时候真演一次坏人啊。
一位女性为了满足自己当母亲的心愿给继女找了两人接盘侠的故事。
正值父亲节，没想到选了这部日影正好是父爱主题，而且还是三位父亲依次传递爱的接力棒，最后终于将接力棒交到了女儿未来老公的手上。结尾的婚礼很圆满也很温馨，十元太美了虽然看上去怎么都像是一个专门骗婚的美女但她的那些母爱细节还是很能让我感动。哪个小孩碰上这样开朗活泼的母亲应该很难不喜欢吧。
情节设计的挺有巧思的。
人物太多，记不住名字，还那么多烟雾弹，刚开始真的一脸懵逼……最后破案还是靠直觉，靠眼神，动机太难猜，推理没啥意思……中规中矩的一部电影。
