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'.

5分。剧情还行，但白左横行的美国又习惯性强行安插了黑女主，还各种床戏裸戏让人看到吐。差评！可惜了派恩的演技。
电影反转还是可以的，比之前那部承包商好一点，但是毫无动作场面我也是无语，完全是话痨片。不过漏洞还是比较大的，比如到底男主角的目的是啥、前面那么正经的训话也就对不上了，感觉看到最后就为了爱情而爱情。
看了一周勉强看完…… 挺浪费生命的……… 而且片尾曲……… 是翻唱………the cure的版权是买不到吗
演技没什么可评论的，还是逻辑。作为一个叛徒，最敏感的就是会让他查叛徒，CIAFBI不都是挑的名校生吗？所以叛徒是个傻子或编剧是。固定电话记录，谁都明白不可能是真的，所以叛徒这么做继续说明他是个傻子或编剧是。然后看到伊朗电话打手机，这得是多巧合比无巧不成书还巧，编剧太应付了。最后的告白，只能是谎言，对方不是核对信息只是榨取信息，都知道得不到也不会说信息，所以叛徒是个傻子或编剧是。但是去掉了这些，就又是个被官僚迫害的年轻下属报复政客的平庸故事，所以这个故事就不应该存在。
其实剧情还是不错的，就是太磨叽，几层反转也处理的挺紧凑，女主角没找好，说白了就是太老了有点不搭调
大部分时间絮絮叨叨扯半天，就等最后一个包袱抖得响不响。结果是普通到无话可说。
超前观影。较多的拍摄人物的浅焦近景，布景和光线的色调随情感关系的变化由暖转冷。电影的剧本很棒，既有甜蜜幸福的恋爱时光也有真实得十分残酷的争吵和离开，两位主演的演技非常棒，很有说服力、让观众能迅速进入到或欢乐或悲伤或愤怒的情绪中去。
Cinematography满分，剧情0分
气氛、BGM、悬疑都烘托到这了，结果就这…傻白甜特工的纯纯的爱情？！🤔️老刀不行啊…不过海边和落日餐厅是真的美。
披着谍战的外衣搞了一个爱情剧，是男人悲哀，还是女人悲哀呢？
老情人老同事最后的晚餐，针锋相对，互诉衷肠，镜头和剪辑将悬疑值拉满，中年版克里斯真是将气质狠狠怼人脸上，唯一让人不觉得不合适的就是两位演情侣是真的不搭。
片名这是翻译了些啥？旧伤复发也比这个好啊。
冲着大明星去的，实际却是部小成本制作，味如嚼蜡，花了1小时稀里糊涂看完，还是再来豆瓣看别人的解读才明白是咋回事。
It’s an ordinary love story. Great storyline! TOUCHED and SAD at the end. 节奏感很好，在许久没能耐下心看过一部电影的这个深夜.
无数的故事告诉我们干间谍这一行的是真不能有感情……致命弱点了属于是
一言不合就开车 喔喔喔 也说不上不好看吧 至少还挺悬疑到底真凶是谁的 但就是看的昏昏欲睡。。。
恕我直言，女主长相气质不太适合演这类角色。片中还一直那种“我很美”闪回剪辑，让我直起鸡皮疙瘩！
老情人老同事最后的晚餐，针锋相对，互诉衷肠，镜头和剪辑将悬疑值拉满，中年版克里斯真是将气质狠狠怼人脸上，唯一让人不觉得不合适的就是两位演情侣是真的不搭。
无谍战无枪战无动作，只有爱情。
反转还不错，6.5是值得的吧，4星鼓励一下。
