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'.

劳模姐的表演是出色的，希望好运，拿下奥斯卡影后
今年第二部最佳，导演风格品味一流，有些人批评本片的节奏，可能他们只擅长看一种尖叫型的恐怖片，我觉得导演很明显在用一个日常平缓的节奏，不是要给你讲一个突如其来的精彩故事，而是稀松平常每天都在发生的恐怖故事。啊，如今这社会对女性来说，就是这么恐怖，女人应该如实表达自己的情绪，站在大街上一起尖叫一起抗议。
两主角都演得挺好的，但是传记片成了得奖的快速通道，让人觉得每年演传记片的都是在走捷径抄近道懒得去挖掘新故事，看的人也审美疲劳。这几年得影帝影后的大多都是传记片，提名里面大多数也是。没什么新鲜感了，故事很一般。
It's not over 'till it's over.
劳模姐和加菲表演都很不错，豆瓣评分6.5，显然偏低。
宗教型电影，不是题材，而是影片融入的所谓“搞笑”元素吧，显得有些不严肃……不懂或者说不明白这个形式。
拍出了女性的恐惧不安，植入到心底的恐惧。走夜路，回头再回头，张望又张望。谁在那里？想要做什么？这里有一个强壮的男人丈夫保护你，保护你什么？免受其他男人的骚扰？电影、超市跟踪尾行，不敢回头不敢直视，仿佛只要自己足够小心，就能避开危险。
婚姻是一座围城，艺术家也会不可避免的出现婚姻危机
劳模姐改头换面，完全不认识了，她就是塔米本尊。片子却一般，总体上是很平淡的讲故事，流水账，对比几年前的花样女王，这片子成色差很多。希望劳模姐能凭此封后，表演值得。
虽然演的有点作妖，但劳模姐值得这座小金人，太松弛了
I’m not ready for 白发菲 🥺😭
整部电影都无不充填着传教者的伪善，但我在塔米菲的妈妈去世时妈妈归还的大衣和从妈妈遗体中摘下的眼镜时落泪了，这种悲伤一直延续到电影结束，甚至延绵自我写下这段话，全片最真切的情感莫过于母亲对女儿的爱和循循善诱
做到了三分电影里各方面的极致，女主美到可以做Amber高替，赶紧去演海后一炮而红
作为传记片来说着实很平庸，奥斯卡女主演技也就那样吧，唯一吸引人的是塔米菲这个人物本身，她就是为了舞台而生的
劳模姐演的倒是很好，可人物刻画有些流于表面，可能是我对宗教狂热始终不能理解同时也对相应的历史背景缺少了解吧。
和绝大多数颁奖季传记片一样工整平庸且无趣。片中原型人物本就算不上家喻户晓的世界级名人，因此对于不了解上世纪70年代美国流行文化史的观众来说有种天然的陌生感。电视布道者夫妇抓住机遇攀上事业高峰，又陷丑闻瞬间跌落谷底，或许是类似平常的起伏人生见得太多，电影所呈现的事迹经历显然也并没有多少必要拉出来大书特书。导演的关注点过多过杂，没有很好地抓住某个叙述重点，以至于角色塑造得始终很干瘪。整部电影有且只有劳模姐不同年龄段层次分明的表演还可圈可点，得益于妆容加持，这种自毁形象扮丑等同于掌握了冲奥密码，捞个提名铁定不成问题，陪跑多年的她也将再一次向那座期盼已久的小金人发起冲击，祝好运。
好平庸，也只是来看看查斯坦可能封后的作品，提名吧！| 奥斯卡之后来补标签，祝贺劳模如愿了，希望之后拍点高质量的，真的
如果你的伴侣被跟踪，请相信她，那不是她的想象，女性的直觉非常准.65/100
看最前面的时候不是很喜欢这部电影，看到后半段，被查斯坦演绎的塔米·菲这个角色的人格魅力所折服。就是不知道有没有洗白的嫌疑。历史会给予每一个人公义吗？
塔米菲贪婪，虚荣，拜金，可她真的是心怀大爱的好人。
