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'.

真的很浪费时间！这就体现了一个好的导演的重要性
什么鬼... ...前40分钟只感觉到乱哄哄的... ...上一集至少脉络清晰，美术很亮眼。这集改的面目全非。唯一的优点就是艾玛演绎的复仇女很漂亮吧... ...
总体还是可以一看，但是许多地方有些突兀，拍得有些流水，特效五毛。盖尔加朵烂片女王？
真就是前十分钟引人入胜，其它最多称得上中规中矩。可惜了这么多大牌。序幕波洛受伤与正片又有什么关系呢？
身为网大，问题难免不少，但电影胜在精湛的武戏和谢苗出色的表演，这是不可多得的质量。
阿加莎老奶奶特殊爱情的小迷妹啊，影片整个前半段就是英伦穿衣小百科。
1.电影演到丢失了红颜料就大致猜到凶手了。
推理剧的巅峰还得是《名侦探柯南》。220404//
网大电影来说很不多了，无论功夫，还是剧情，都是认真的在讲故事，看好谢苗，从目中无人而来。
太棒了，谢苗！一个端了一窝，太能打了，智勇双全！东北话太亲切了。除恶务必除尽，很干脆的片子，不装逼不磨叽，像东北人的性格。一直看到最后，后面拍摄花絮也很好看，片尾曲也正能量。
Kenneth Branagh你还是继续搞你的莎翁吧，阿加莎你把握不住的！
不糟糕的电影 极糟糕的改编，把一个1930s的故事讲得特别现代也算是导演的本事，其手段包括但不限于：往120min里尽可能多地糅进看似丰富却无益于人物塑造的戏、为体现“巧思”多此一举地把所有人物都和主角扯上一些关系、以及购买华丽的现代成衣哄演员穿上并骗他们我们这个片子的背景是上世纪30年代😅
演员导演都尽力了，但，这部剧本不行，猜到结局了，没有东方列车最后解密的那种震撼
很接地气，有生活的质感，虽然人物、情节比较简单，打戏挺过瘾。
甚至有些辣眼睛。。朋友：但比黑客帝国4好看，确实
没看过原著、没看过老版，感觉案子有点简单，真凶单从动机上就很容易判断，就一个会计表哥稍微会有些许干扰。可怜的妈宝男可以说是被他妈逼死了。觉得回头还是看看原著吧。
Kenneth Branagh你还是继续搞你的莎翁吧，阿加莎你把握不住的！
谢苗没小时候可爱了，但是自带一种苏感…绑匪的三弟还考上过商学院，就这智商吗，绝了。
推理呢？而且凶手轻易就招了，手帕的证据是怎么指向他们的没有说清楚啊……制作是很精良，特效也不错，但是哎…
原版的画面华丽升级。感觉这种升级好像没多大意义，还不如重新把故事结构变得更紧凑一些。铺垫两小时，破案十分钟，看得有些累。另外，一开始人物关系就露馅的设定还不如原版的不认识更有悬念感。
