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'.

几乎每个镜头的调度运镜构图打光都值得拿出来学习，但叙事极为乏味，音乐舞蹈也没什么吸引力，分三次勉强看完，我的DNA里没这个。
喧宾夺主，路人自嗨，就这还提名了奥斯卡，哎。
瓊瑤阿姨都汗顏
假如主演不是Jimmy O Yang我是不可能观感这么好的。虽然俗套甚至可以猜到结局但还是很好看的
就很流水线但是还可以哈哈哈哈哈哈至少不难看，虽然太过好莱坞PC童话，为了欧阳才看到嘻嘻
2.5 男女主其实台词念得还行，就是歌舞和面部与动作表演全无。剧情上跟贴近一点现代，但大致没变，也没有有心意的地方，总体还是拉！
有几场戏还是挺好看的，但是看完就忘记是哪几场了。
除了几处歌舞高光场面，故事内核单薄加之主演糟糕的表演堪称灾难。
场景镜头都很精巧，就是这剧情太低智了，分分钟让我出戏，感觉好像在看印度片。西语听不懂，歌也不好听，男女主像被强行捏在一起的一样没有chemistry
斯皮尔伯格再次证明了自己是全才导演，歌舞场面的调度和排演都丝毫不输百老汇，这让同期的《倒数时刻》相形见绌。和陀螺“高清重制”的《玉面情魔》一样，两位名导在服化道和制作层面下了很大的功夫，让影片看起来充满着好莱坞黄金时代气息，但原封不动的六十年前的剧本在如今看来老套且过时，缺乏时代两点，有意思的是二者都在颁奖季斩获颇丰。此外从本片看来，安塞尔·艾尔高特并没有在《极速车神》故意演出角色的“迟钝”，而是真的没有演技，他在影片中像是一个痴情的幼稚娃娃脸，在这一班角色中极其出戏。
我看过的斯皮尔伯格最烂的片子.2021年度看过最烂的片子,这是怎么进奥斯卡候选的..
中规中矩的圣诞爱情喜剧片 就是这个颜值差距有点大 虽然说过很多次了 但是nina真的是比起之前垮得太快了 当然现在也是好看的
因为，就，真的不太好嘛。
大多数人想要找的是可以一起周末早上看报纸的人，但是女主要找的是能一起偷报纸的人。笑不活了。报纸📰：请问你礼貌吗？
剧情一言难尽，歌舞片街头群舞这类型不太欣赏得来，不过体育馆斗舞那一part确实好看
约翰赵和Steven Yeun 演这种爱情喜剧是白女捡便宜，欧阳万成演就真的有点亚男幻想了……
看笑了 金球奖诚不我欺 果然是音喜类最佳影片
三星半，小哥哥小姐姐舞蹈功底了得，颜值又这么在线，在纽约当小混混门槛简直比青藤高
歌舞太棒了，布景、摄影也一流，两位主角缺少点魅力。
妈呀，私心喜爱Jimmy O Yang！太甜宠了吧！！！
