简介："Sixty Glorious Years" is an exercise for Victoria and her star Anna Neale (later known as "Regal Neale") to create portraits. Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create delightful iconic images for public consumption, this film also played a similar role, because Neagle is more beautiful than Victoria in real life. Controversial events (such as the "Irish issue") were ignored, and the unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her capriciousness, arrogance, partiality and "privileged rights") were covered up as cute little "fantasies". When Albert went too far, she played a mitigating role. This film is a year after the Great Victoria (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Similarly, the screenplay was directed by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansitstart, and many supporting role (talented actors in this period) repeated their roles, this time for color cameras. This is the first full-color film made by cinematographer Freddie Young. He captured the spectacular scenes of the royal wedding, grand ball and luxurious room. The scenes were actually shot in the royal palace. The vivid battle scene, set in the imperial territory of Alexander Korda (Sevastopol and Sudan), is comparable to the scene in "d. Zoltan Korda 1939". The title music set the tone: a royal choir sang on the camera of the crown. Elga's 1901 "Pomp and Circuit" parade sounded during the diamond anniversary celebration. When Victoria's coffin was placed in the state, the film ended with the solemn music of Anthony Collins, and was accompanied by Rudyard Kipling's "Lest we forget". Coupled with the emotional attraction of Victoria's contact with "ordinary people", this is an exciting thing. This film is related to contemporary events in 1938. After the abdication of Edward VIII, two films celebrating the royal family were released to promote the public's love for the monarchy. Anglo-German relations are another sensitive topic. As another war is coming, influential voices call for appeasement, and this film can be regarded as meeting this agenda. Victoria herself is mainly of German origin and is nicknamed "the grandmother of Europe", while Albert is a "good German", played by Anton Walbrook, who is a cultured and decent man. "Sixty Glorious Years" now seems too formal and pious. If the film had existed in the Victorian era (until the end), it might be the kind of film made. Unlike Mrs. Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), all these are very "Victorian". Roger Philip Mello
