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'.

女性心理刻画得真实，但剧情实在有些慢节奏...整体来说也不够极致，太中规中矩。有时候就是太政治正确，观点没错，片子就是很无聊
看了二十分钟，为什么女主晚上都不拉窗帘（包括做爱的时候），就是为了强行契合主题 ，接受不了。
适合周五之夜
又一个反向狼来了的故事，别人都不相信我，最后发现女主说的是对的，导演用了很多迷惑观众手法，让观众摇摆男反是不是坏人，最后女主还反杀了男反，单纯从电影技术来讲，氛围一般，总体能看，6.5分，但是我想说说这个故事，抛开结果不谈，女主和男反到底谁对谁错？好像都有自己的理由，导演给出这个难题后没给解答方法，只是随意的把男反拉下水变成坏人，这样做有点不负责任
本来还期待女主去找被害女邻居的前男友在一起的 结果就那么结束了 那个男人比她老公靠谱多了感觉
运用镜头和色彩很有效的外化出了女性感受到世界，情节略cliche但stupid office joke’那个情节是真的有powerful到。以及，结尾我爱！

片尾的反转如果不加，本来是一部很好的片子，可惜了。片尾搞砸了一切。
女主角的爱人饰演者把懦弱，自私，卑劣的形象体现得淋漓尽致！
一定要找到那个肯无条件信任你的人
若不是最后的无头女尸，整部迟缓的节奏都能当做剧情片来看，女主有这么好的演技还是回纽约发展吧
闷。心理元素运用的可以，总体还是比偷窥者要高级
本来以为是偷窥题材，结果不是有点失望，而且没啥亮点，不看也罢
整个电影噱头十足，罗马利亚压抑沉闷的社会环境，金发美女的搏动，女人的直觉，但是各方面缺乏深度，本可以在悬疑上面再下一翻功夫，失望了
让男的相信女的有多难？姊妹情谊泪目......
说几句关于电影的吧，节奏很好，氛围营造的也很真实，没有那么多凶杀、悬疑、追踪的噱头，女性观众可能会更感同身受一些，整体不错。
瞎扯淡呢！女主被割破脖子，都大出血了，还能拿起枪杀人，并且还和没事一样！这是超人附体了吗？简单的剧情被拖得又臭又长，男主这么高大，却非要显得头脑简单，简直是在诋毁男性的智商。给一颗星吧，也就女主几个镜头比较好看。总结就是强行黑罗马尼亚男性的电影。
反杀也就算了，最后也没说清楚这个男人杀人的动机是啥，女主的后续生活是怎样，就这样一个镜头给观众充分的想象空间？
60分。及格吧。小成本，有几个地方确实被吓到。女性的直觉以及遭遇的恶意等等。很担心最后她连丈夫也射一枪。可难道那样处理岂不是更爽哉？
