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'.

怎么花了9000万美元拍了这样一部不痛不痒毫无趣味的电影？前面10分钟到底是为了啥？？？还不如不拍，全片下来成了菠萝一个人的独角戏，其他人全是无聊的工具人，加朵和艾米汉莫的角色真的是演技好差，其他的角色所有的行为和思想都是流于表面，最后10分钟的解密甚至还不如看名侦探柯南，看这样子幸好也没下一部了。
开头一段讲留胡子的原因还是挺惊喜的。看过1978年版本的所以并没有什么好猜的。画面好美，看得更想去埃及了。
2.5 明明是一部推理片，却变得全片最不重要的就是推理，呵呵这类型“格式”倒是很符合现在的潮流；上一集就收获很多吐槽的胡子这集居然为了解释“成因”，特意在片头加了段《1917》一般，废戏之多可见一斑，吃偶数甜点不吃奇数的并不能增加菠萝的个性，可能考虑到演员片酬和号召力的原因，加戏加到头重脚轻节奏不均，拉美西斯二世陵墓之类的各种“大”场面看上去是挺美的，可是导致抽丝剥茧的剧本严密性沦为空谈；不过恭喜梅芙上大银幕了！【特意影城装修前最后一天来看，观影环境实在是…不该来瞎凑热闹的.....
三个字，还可以。整体故事流水线完成度还不错，动作设计可圈可点，肯定要比小鲜肉强，动作片要多支持！
节奏差点，风景不错，比上一部东方快车好一点。没想到广电能不剪掉教母和女仆的关系那段，而且台词保留，实属难得～
动作真挺不错的，这一般的剧情可能正是现实社会的真实写照吧
比上次的《东方快车谋杀案》好，但是也就好那么一点而已。盖尔·加朵当然漂亮，只不过原著里的琳内特年龄才21岁，于是96年的梅芙实在青春无敌，短发漂亮极了，虽然造型由于过于罗比了，但是都是大美女啊。塌了房的锤子再也爱不起来了，怎么看都不像是落魄的穷人，04电视剧版的西蒙特别帅，让人相信富家女的一见钟情富家女的下嫁。盖尔一看就是聪明脸（我没有说布朗特看上去不聪明），怎么会爱上石油大亨？
埃及艳后服饰与台词，象征了她的悲剧命运。椅子背面对话暗示布克知道秘密。门镜重叠斗殴加剧了混乱效果。特效非常尴尬。推理部分过于薄弱。
辱波了……女友说忍受不了奇数的大侦探就像湿度不耐的顾里
那对拉拉让我好激动啊！！原来不是主仆关系，而是老妇老妻！演员都表现得很好，只是失去了英国片特有的含蓄，充满浓浓的好莱坞风情味，以及，这版的波洛有点严肃。
结局的凶手自杀太强硬，正步看下来，没发现有什么细节可推敲。感觉就像是导演说：嗯，时间差不多了，该揭秘了
拍了些什么 ..what's the point…..
但凡冠上“东北”二字，故事就有那儿味了。曾经的东北，黑社会猖獗，大家应该听过“乔四”。剧中的算是黑恶势力，地痞流氓，敲诈勒索。谢苗饰演的人民警察，正是施展拳脚的时候了。扫黑除恶，除恶务尽。
抄写都不及格，改编也不会！虽然故事还是那个故事，但导演为什么偏要去其精华！人物都没刻画好！影片中途一度睡过去了…
未看过原著，所以新鲜感还是有的，前半段介绍背景及人物依然是用非常复古的手法来拍，看得有点昏昏欲睡，探案开始后渐入佳境，看得出导演加入了不少新的议题来迎合当今的政治正确，但本片的优点仍然是阿加莎的，导演有意加强人物关系的铺排，弱化推理，站在上帝视角将整个案件平铺直叙，利用信息不对等来制造悬念，作为悬疑片来说，实在只能说中规中矩。7
没想到2022年竟然还能看到那么假的背景合成
没有对比就没有伤害，被78版全面碾压，碾成渣。一个多么神采飞扬的故事，被讲得如此无趣。肯尼斯布拉纳，求放过阿婆吧！
三次看完，无聊至极，极其自恋，抛弃了人物塑造，悬念设置，和节奏，太无聊了。
为什么不好好改编呢？加同性、肤色还能理解，可能想顺应时代，但波洛的感情是怎么回事？
2.充满合成电脑特技的埃及景色，太虚。
