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'.

7.5分。老爷子Mark Rylance当年在《间谍之桥》就给我留下深刻印象，这次唱独角戏也是光芒万丈。电影颇有舞台感，所有冲突都发生在裁缝店室内，真的是考验演员功力。老爷子应该是有心杀贼，但具体能实施到这个程度不在控制范围内。几个最重要的节点都在他控制范围外，譬如马仔和太子的矛盾能激化到互杀，或者马仔最后想蛇吞象干掉拉方丹之类的。最后一场展现真正的技术这里不是太喜欢，这纯粹是为了表现老爷子年轻故事的，如果换一种平静的方式表达我个人觉得会好吧。
数次差点将自己玩死，结尾诈尸更是画蛇添足。
很容易被这种精致小巧的片给打动，几个房间几个人就唱完一台精彩的戏，说是反转其实也算是非常自然，说说马克里朗斯这种婆婆脸英男本以为会是亚力克吉尼斯那种演员，但是他太四平八稳了，就连敦刻尔克飞机要落水了他都淡定掌舵，这种片里这么淡定的老头一看就不简单，缺少爵士那种演戏的多变性和戏剧性，很可惜
看似环环相扣，实则无脑爽片，想学ROPE只有皮毛。
小成本单一场景却高潮迭起，老爷子眼里全是戏，个人年度前五已预定。Mark Rylance deserves this！
非常棒的舞台剧，有悬疑有反转，Mark Rylance演技绝赞。
老派，精巧，但剧本看起来很像是为了拼凑悬念而缝合在一起的“套装”。
耳光侠成名作再续之越南出任务。马东锡还是演这种纯粹的犯罪动作喜剧更合适，自己演着对路，观众看的过瘾。虽然反派比起第一集的哈尔滨张谦弱了点，但不难看出来整部戏动作效果的升级，连长镜头都用进去了。
除了主演，其他人的演技是真够差的。剧本是为了反转而反转，人物不太扎实。室内剧难拍，镜头过于干瘪，整片看完感到很对不起自己的时间。
感觉看了一部黑白老派70年代的电影。全片在一家裁缝店完成，太适合改成话剧了。开头的几个twist我还有点hmmm觉得嘴炮也太好骗了吧。结果适应节奏switch off把他作为一部谍战片来看以后真的非常精彩。演技设定剪辑都非常一流。
简单的场景，简单的故事，但是足够牵动心弦。
一天深夜，黑帮大佬罗伊的儿子里奇和他的副手弗朗西斯闯入了店中，里奇身受重伤，在弗朗西斯的威胁之下，雷纳德处理了里奇的伤口，将他从死亡线上救了回来，但与此同时，他也被卷入了这个黑帮家族的纷争之中。
一开始沉迷于裁缝手艺的质感，但也隐约感觉这人道儿深，妹想到看起来最面的男主有一百个心眼，背景更是让人震惊。太好看了。
一部真正好的悬疑片剧本，就像阿加莎的剧本一样，反复给你念叨线索，让你有时间仔细琢磨；而一般的悬疑片，就会快速滑过高密度信息，来回翻转让你云里雾里，忘记一些脑洞太大导致的漏洞。本片显然属于后者，所以就图一乐吧。

什么会计啊，厨子啊，裁缝啊都尽量不要去惹了
精彩！这才是优秀编剧散发的魅力，一个夜晚一间裁缝店里的故事，纯靠反转推进的一出戏，全程对白推动，耸动性却在逐渐递增，铺成谜团与诡计讨巧在空间里不断流动，绝佳的悬疑气氛与出色的表演相映成趣，同样是具有年代感的黑帮犯罪故事，却摆脱了近几年流水线上千篇一律的动作戏，亦或是商业片强加的光环依托，完全在密闭空间里实现了精彩纷呈，而且手法更显高明，区区几个角色的演绎就能将空间内的张力以及芝加哥黑帮势力处理的暗流涌动，预谋者穿针引线，支配者不断拆线纳入新谜团，几个回合下来完全表达了编剧和导演的诉求与实现，好像话剧舞台上的剧情流转，不追求过分深刻，亦无宏大愿景，只是对文本的优缺做了一次收合与裁剪，疫情期间阅烂片无数，遇到这种追加诚意和暗藏精妙的片子，感觉像淘到好物一般，惊喜不言而喻。★★★★
戏剧感很强，在单一的空间里靠演技撑起剧情的辗转，英伦量体师的浓郁绅士风颇为吸引人。
和凯特温丝莱特的《裁女佳人》相得益彰，推荐观看。减一星是因为Dylan O'brien演技掉线，配角都个个出彩，唯独少爷这个角色太弱了
非常棒，会让人看完在播卡司的时候回味。除了开头和结尾，cutter走向裁缝店和离开加起来10s左右的两场，没有外景，全部是内景。不算打手6个人物。故事紧凑，揭露Mable身份后，cutter的独白更精彩。预算从来不是阻止好作品诞生的障碍。
