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'.

没有了爱的感化，社会变得冰冷，人与人之间变得冷漠、猜忌、提防。
标准商业片吧，挺流畅的，有几个情节设计的挺有张力，在这个故事这么熟悉，小说电视剧都成功的情况下能做出点悬念不容易，但也不能把反角给弄成这样吧，这药家，药不然和药来的故事怎么捋，后面可还要继续推呢，这做的设计，药来洗不白了吧？葛优大爷全场最佳，给富贵儿加戏也很ok，本以为酱油，结果这么关键呢，叫爸爸那段全场乐。get到了李现的颜值。辛小姐姐不错，适合黄烟烟这种有点侠气的角色。
故事流畅，质感很差。审美较为苏联，古玩行业很封建。年度最没用女性角色黄烟烟，最膈应场景“好生养”，拜托男明星有点长进混了这么多年还不能用原声出演，你葛大爷并不是只能演老年纪春生。
狗狗！！狗狗！！！！狗狗！！！！！狗勾就是世界上最可爱的😭😭😭我也想rua可爱狗狗😭😭😭（片子是一个虚假又美好的童话 像片头片尾的绘本那样）
给小孩看的，也只能给小孩看…年纪稍微大些的都会在剧情不同的地方找到变扭的地方，从狗的cg到剧情，槽点忒多，不过我也不懂这么个片，演员怎么就那么下功夫演呢…也搞不懂SNL干嘛来这片团建。
沙发！剧情有些老套的儿童片，演员演技略尴尬，故事年代有些错乱，而且因为Jack Whitehall出演总有种脱口秀即视感。
内容有点本末倒置，狗子变配角了，但家里有狗狗的会喜欢Clifford
原来是完全的儿童片啊... > < 不过狗勾真的很可爱啦~ 虽然特效不太ok...但猛冲推球那笑死hhh 这个叔叔有点搞啊，说话好逗~ 有趣~ 本来还以为会更偏向励志感人or whatever，结果中间串出来个“扎克”就有点大无语...就强行搞个反派感觉，而且还很蠢。噢对，是儿童片...不过还是挺温情的，妈妈超好啦~ 大狗rua起来应该很爽吧！直接躺上面用爪子当被子！前提是不可以舔人！！！儿童片来说还可以啦~
温暖又可爱，还是最爱的拉拉。女主最后一番发言，让我觉得狗狗的红色象征着纽约社区各人种的大融合大团结😂
And so, a story that began with two lost souls ends with one big family: a little girl, a giant red dog, and a city that came together because of them.
白厅很可爱
比较无聊，还好孩子们都很喜欢。
A妹说得对，坏掉的饭，剩下的酒，一生一世一双人，怎能不爱啊。谁不喜欢美好的故事呢？
谁能拒绝这么一只大狗狗卖萌啊
6.0分。比汪汪队的适龄稍微高一点，放空脑子去看挺不错。比很多故作幼稚的正经电影，及故作正经的幼稚电影多了一丝纯粹。
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈就为了等我们小啤的Room For you
m21292：可爱，有爱心。看片很应景，人类应该以爱对待如此可爱忠诚的动物！
与众不同，难道与众不同就一定是特立独行的嘛？就要被其他人冷嘲热讽？就要忍受被他人的疏远？记得曾经有一个小品中的一句台词“钱丢了，可以再赚。可人心丢了。。。。。。”
童话改编，中规中矩。爱不会因为多大的困难而渺小。
【2022 32】剧情不够饱满，冲突不够激烈，但当一个童话故事来看也足够可爱啦~
