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'.

女二绝对是自己撩骚撩死的 那仨男的也有病 男主都这么对他了还不合伙先把他弄死？除了攀岩有点意思 剧情都是扯淡
希腊又成搞政治阴谋的异域，与鬼气森森的斯洛伐克遥相呼应，挺好玩儿。幻肢痛苦、丧家之犬和困兽犹斗，都恶趣味满满地塞到一个语言、情感乃至真相，方方面面走投无路的鬼地方。使馆里和奥巴马大统领的无言对视，实属锦上添花。
坎妹打酱油，车祸后就没她什么事了！男主一路狂奔，写实的风格把我推着走，一边觉得无聊但也想跟下去，终于到最后，大男主也能拯救别人，一路简直太可怜了！也因为太写实，导致看完一点感觉也没有！
其实镜头语言是很美的，假如加上一个俗套的开头和结尾都是印度版的CMBYN，但非要故弄玄虚搞艺术化，就有点……自娱自乐。
进入主题比较快，惊险刺激，后面剧情稍微拖了一点
看了许多许多评论都没有提及该怎么应对反派，面对这种擅长柔道擒拿格斗 力量又超常人的反派绝大多数人都在逃避怎么应对这种人，绝大多数人碰到这种反派都是待宰的鸭子
所以永远都不要说一个男人不行，never, ever!
剧情算是稳扎稳打吧，没有特别出彩的地方，但是也能顺畅的看下去。感慨…感慨就是——心中有爱，就会有活下去的希望。
看故事简介还蛮有意思的，但片子本身呈现质感一般，不如预期。
演员不出名但是剧情还不行，最后反派纯属自己作死
千万不要跟情人规划未来～～他们的未来里没有你～～
女主很漂亮 强行安排的剧情 女主大晚上的也不冷了 一直往右边爬啊 还能包抄 好久没有遇到男主这种纯坏人了
5.5 好像有点意思，又没多大意思，作为“异乡人”的既视感倒是挺强烈的。
小成本电影，节奏很快，故事简单但是还是比较紧张的，虽然几个反派一手好牌打得稀烂，不过高空作业真是好身手啊，6分。
游出池塘，拥抱自己。影调高级，画面细腻，剪辑流畅，很是惊喜！
看过不少攀岩片了，这部比较假些，但不妨碍我手心出汗，脚掌发软，情节也算有点新意。是一部值得观看的电影，不知为什么给分不高，我给它加点分。
...
话说为什么逃不是走便于逃脱的路呢？
看看我们公民在外遇险有战狼出击虽远必诛，人家美国公民在异国他乡遇到危险只不过是个zz牺牲品，还要与天斗与地斗拯救他国人民，真是孤狼英雄主义实践国。
对《月光》毫无抵抗力，从一开始就被迷住了，结尾还有呼应，镜头、配图还有音乐、诗歌…艺术性远超看过的一切印度同影🐐
