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'.

喜欢电影里这群真诚善良的人，总要为他们盈出热泪，善良真诚，是人与人之间产生联结的唯一可能。
我发誓再也不看国产低成本密室悬疑剧了，看吐了，演技浮夸，剧情生硬，民国乱世风，每一点都让我很难受。这种烂俗场景风格的电影竟然还有人吹，而且这种风格还越来越多。。
6.5/10
因为上映后一水的好评，所以我是抱着相当高的期待走进电影院的，但是它真的让我非常失望。在我看来，这部影片更像是剧本杀综艺的升级版，质感甚至比不上网大。大量室内戏的设置也许是出于节约成本的考虑，但这也大大暴露了导演的水平不足。起码在前一小时，我看不到任何有想法的场面调度，演员的表演也乏善可陈。电影的核心案件和市面上成熟的剧本杀作品别无二致，缺少新鲜感。舞台感极重的服化道还有布景也让我无法入戏，仿佛在看剧本杀综艺。
有那么点致敬侯麦的味道，氛围营造非常成功...
一部回答“为什么有人害怕电影”的电影。
细腻温情的巴黎夜曲，遍布全片的八十年代风格迷人且复古，并带有一种人生终归相识且分离的淡淡惆怅。对侯麦《圆月映花都》的多次指涉都非常惊喜，将其看做一次对饱含无限情愫与浪漫的巴黎八十年代的回忆已经足够动人，更何况甘斯布的气质实在太过贴合。
它在年尾上映，仿佛呼应了年初的《刺杀小说家》，也可以改叫《追杀电影人》。
剧本杀式的推理悬疑电影，辅以搞笑的段子、无厘头的情节、戏谑的迷影梗、隐射现实（电影行业、掌权者的游戏与弱点）让人看得津津有味。
Et si tu n’existais pas, dis-moi pourquoi j’existerais? Et si tu n’existais pas, dis-moi pour qui j’existerais?
本来想给两星，一星给演员，一星给立意。但是电影最后“你觉得观众看的懂吗，没关系我们做了我们应该做的事，我相信我们的电影能留下来”。自己拍的烂观众还看不懂呗。太恶心人了。
当大家在看这么一部电影的是，主动或者被动代入剧本杀的时候，到底是剧本杀的普及成功，还是电影市场下沉找到的捷径？总之，都和电影本质偏离了轨道。
“我一开始想象的生活并不是这样的,但我们还是尽力去热爱它了,对吗？ 以前,我觉得浪漫就是风花雪月。今天看完这部电影后,我对浪漫有了新的理解：它其实是一种选择,是一种勇敢,是一种英雄主义。即便自己的生活不那么如意,却依然热爱它。 这种爱,终会滋养出希望和温暖。
这一看就是我会喜欢的片子啊！就是太太太长了……轻轻减一星
走出人生中的些许失意，夜旅人的上镜头瞬间在巴黎夜景中显得格外动人。
被离婚的单身女人，带着两个孩子，之前没有工作经验，人生重启……这样的故事，法国人拍出就可以这样，一点都不酸楚，依然的浪漫，依然的优雅，依然的温馨，亲情爱情工作一样不缺，生活就应该是这样的！
几次反转实在是太有魅力了！还有，这部片子里呈现的女性温情和男性共情与关怀让人倍感温暖。作为一个几年前开始写的剧本，在剧本杀还没有大肆兴起的时候就写下这样的剧本的话，刘循子墨属实让人有点惊喜了。开篇熟悉的报告老板的感觉，一下子梦回我的高中时代。但他们这次用自己的实际行动告诉我们：我们不只是会拍网剧。以及，父王张本煜真的全场最佳。
四星半！有人说“如果你觉得利刃出鞘值8.5分的话，扬名立万不该比这低”。借着拍电影的壳子来探案，当凶手一开始就揭晓，剩下的就是how和why？核心故事很抓人，反转很精彩，各种迷影梗、电影行业互文指涉也让人会心一笑。过气演员、烂片导演、被封杀的编剧、花瓶女星、low版李小龙、被一个破产投资人篡到了一个盘子里，“政治军事不让拍” “十个项目九个凉” “能公映就不错了”。最震住我的是，你以为一切都结束了，灭火的人从天而降。“上面叫我来的，都是工作”，太tm讽刺、太tm中国了！在电影院里想大笑，又想大哭，非常非常悲凉，他说的话和最近上门打狗案“领导叫我来的”何其相似？深不可测的“上面”才是最恐怖的地方。“我们把这个故事拍出来，让人看不出是讲这事的呢？”黑中黑的何止三老？几乎是导演冲破屏幕朝你眨眼睛了
一部有温度的电影，甚至有一点日本电影的风格，恬淡又舒服，好像夏夜晚风。法广就在我工作的街区，对喜欢怀旧的人而言看着太亲切了，原来40年前的巴黎和现在也差不多！女主就像塞纳河水一样，波澜不惊、淡然地面对着生活中的各种冗杂琐碎，但又可以感受到一股坚定的力量~喜欢！
开篇一分零一秒——Bang！我知道我会很爱，很爱这部电影。
