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'.

第一、谍报人员也是普通人，在相信与怀疑之间徘徊，正如男女之情（夫妻或恋人）。本片很好的融合了战争背景下谍报工作者的工作、情感（男主对妻子、对弟弟）。
还是老老实实看三分钟解说吧……演员演技在线，但片子节奏拖沓。（坏掉的洗衣机居然是海尔的）本片几个高光时刻：1.黑道老大在女仆店是真心融入进去了，反差萌。2.女仆店的“花魁”在看到主角买了便利店三明治后觉得很贵，还认真给女主如何省钱的建议，这样的角色塑造确实在被后面反派欺负之后让人倍有同情心。3.开片打斗很水，但结局1v1的格斗确实精彩。另外，片尾疯狂立flag，又是“回家一起吃蛋糕”，又是短发大难不死却遭遇长发的机枪扫射，又是说自己很累要抱抱才能起来……如果最终结局是短发被长发的扫射误伤，却强装镇定，在长发离开之后默默在角落嗝屁的悲剧结尾，那还挺能留下记忆点的。可惜片方明显给第二部铺足了伏笔。
感情戏非常尴尬，因为没有一个是真实的细节，哪怕一个暧昧的眼神，一点不经意的身体接触……人设已经把甜蜜和游离的背景铺好，但给人感觉导演不屑讲述。/故事本身挺有意思的，但各种快速跳转的镜头剪辑像是预告片，机械地交待过起承转合，毫无深度的情感推展，如果不是知道它是一个真实故事还是挺难看下去的。
因为很喜欢傲慢与偏见，所以看了这部两代达西主演的英国主旋律电影。全篇没有打仗镜头，但是很想让人重温1917，希望有情人不要在战争时期相遇。
真好当成现在在看的二战回忆录的佐料。可惜片子取材情感线过重，关键的谍战反而一笔带过了。
影片最棒的部分就是男主角一口漂亮的伦敦腔，别的就没有了。
节奏过慢…本来应该是很紧张的剧情，但是感觉他们优哉游哉的
不必要的感情戏份减弱了英德双方之间谍情报战的紧张刺激感，正统地让人昏昏欲睡的盟军系二战影片。“丘吉尔电报‘绞肉行动，大获全胜。’”
无厘头动作百合剧，低成本，有漫画风格，动作场面很畅快，再加点日式幽默。
台词绵密，观景体验对国人未必友好，但还是值得一看的战争佳作。
真滴不错！除了有时候真的吵得脑子疼😂那个呱噪的黑帮女的
节奏还可以，演员没问题，婚外情和出卖色相的西班牙海军上将差评。
很喜欢的题材+制服科林叔直接把期待拉得很高。但是不太理解为啥要在一个四人小组中间掺杂一段三角恋，不清不楚好像对主线推进也没啥帮助，反而显得节奏松散。以及西班牙三面间谍搞定一切都靠金手指这件事情也有点影响观感。三星水准加一星给制服帅哥们。
优秀的作战骗局往往能够让一场胜仗减少不必要的损失，情报战是保证提前布置攻坚战能够精准有效的关键，在打心理战的同时在瞬息万变的局势里能够随机应变，时时掌握主动权。在电影中的这场情报战中故意泄露的飞行员信息经过精心的编织，人设侧写上反复考量，情书和信件字斟句酌，做到了事无巨细。但在突发情况出现打乱原计划时，还要逢山开路遇水搭桥，既要平稳将情报送至希特勒的书桌上，还不能让德方因为情报的唾手可得而起疑，过程惊险曲折也充斥着巧合，纳粹军方也在暗中推波助澜，众方势力都在翘首期盼二战的提前结束，最终在波澜壮阔的二战史上书写了尽显情报战智慧的闪耀篇章。
😂只有我是先看了小约翰的视频知道了这个事，才看的这个电影吗。
一定要对的上电波才能看进去的电影，杀手少女们的日常，风格非常漫画，打斗不是很好看武打设计不够干净，不过看点不在这里，看点还是日常，挺不错。
两位美少女搭配得好好一个内向一个外向一个话多一个话少一个社恐一个易怒所以慢慢的谁也离不开谁了啊！很喜欢伊泽演得社恐少女其实我也有社恐真想和你交个朋友啊！❤️🤝
2.演技一般，视听效果没有印象深刻的地方，缺乏辨识度。好题材，可惜。
有点意思。经典日影警察行为：枪战斗殴我不管，脚踏车违停那你完了
真实历史应该会更惊心动魄吧，可惜电影没有拍出紧张感，后半部分对于行动是成功还是失败的拉锯过程刻画过于轻描淡写
