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'.

血腥、暴力、紧张、毛骨悚然、叹为观止。原以为只是简单的杀妻二人组剧情，没想到语言艺术、动作设计、娱乐气质、动感音乐均有高超水准，不得不佩服导演扎实的功底。另外，导演独特的僵尸电影风格得以延续。
好烂俗啊，大杂烩一样的。。。
p.s 女巫小姐姐真漂亮，没洗白有点遗憾
开始小语种已经不想看了，后期秒变B级血腥片加一星
挪威监狱不是赛过度假村？为什么三人还要逃狱？？？
作为独立故事来看挺不错的，作为前传还是算了吧。
有点《鬼灭之刃》的感觉，但好像没有《鬼灭之刃》好看。
真是一对亲夫妇，一个要将对方分尸沉湖，一个要意外终结他，到了危急的时候又愿意拿出所有私藏守卫他的贞操了，有趣，我笑了，但时间太长了，人均三条命。最后拍好莱坞电影还搞个黑人去，你们也晓得美国流行的政治正确啊
情趣小片一部，成本低，但比较用心，编剧用心于剧情多人物逻辑……（个别逻辑还是有些问题，木屋中有工具房，里面的各类工具一应俱全，为什么来之前还去专门买了工具和绳子）
反转多。可耻的“老蒋”夫妇，令自己那么没面子的“事变”，过后回去写“回忆录”，还美化自己。
大哥，你是晓得的我的，要是我，趴在桌子上的应该是她老公。
维瑟米尔老爷子眼看着自己失去了一切，真是命苦的男人
我我觉得改编的很好。气质到位了，故事有点偏离无所谓。
黑色幽默的结尾拉上来了一星，中间有一点沉闷，多线交会的巧合剧情也不算新奇，但够恶趣味
哈哈哈哈哈，你想杀我？我还想杀你呢？太巧了哈哈哈哈哈，没想到需要搏杀的彼此还是要靠一致对外来解决婚姻危机，好笑又讽刺
打戏太帅了，女巫好帅。忘不了衰老的童年情人也有点浪漫。网飞如果愿意好好投资拍剧就好惹。
标准的Netflix美漫画风，尚可的剧情，朴素的善恶观，还有不错血腥和打斗。
十分优秀的动作设计和剧本
后面杀起来了，进卧室门之前戴夫是跟在老大后面的，不知道为什么转个头戴夫突然变成从屋外面跑进来……
更像一个中世纪风格的忧伤故事，画风成人向且血腥，动作戏还不错。有点像前传的前传，维瑟米尔作为主角，主线是壮年时期的故事，也穿插着讲了童年时期的故事，最后做了一个融合，小杰洛特以一拳超人的造型出现。
