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'.

小说改变历史的明证，超级喜欢。想象力就是这么迷人，看似荒唐，可就是因为它荒唐到几乎不可信所以才被采信。扭转人类命运的大事件背后不知道有多少这样的“设计”。
好剧本的典范，完全靠戏剧张力，情节推动，人物刻画，剧情、对白、表演营造的紧张悬念，高潮迭起的优秀作品。
B级片,这种装出来的细嗓子不太喜欢,不少电影都喜欢按一个这种角色
又一部关于历史的故事，让我知道了已经发生的事情。我们现在之所以能衣食无忧的生活，也是靠前人的牺牲，不论国籍，不论人种，甚至不论生死。
中规中矩的历史片，拨开迷雾得以看见巨型战争机器上的齿轮运作，可以说是史上最著名的诈骗行动了。
没太看懂，在电影院昏昏欲睡了。
精致的电影，前20分钟稍嫌无聊，后面陡然提升档次，每幕每句都值得细读。喜欢Jean的苏格兰口音，演员谈这个设计的报道：https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a39710385/line-of-duty-kelly-macdonald-operation-mincemeat-accent/
疫情期电影的第二条线，“二战时期的英国”，本身谍战自带光环和动脑，但加个感情戏一下就不严肃了（且实在想不出必要性）。节奏弱了点
女仆店开始突然变的好看了，而且是超好看那种.
各种反差萌，两个女杀手像是还没出道的偶像练习生。动作设计很精彩，甚至有段难得一见的枪斗术。
很沉闷的一部影片，这是第一印象。类型真的不适合划分到战争，单单剧情就可以了。如果一个人时间非常充裕，又没有什么急事需要处理的话，可以泡一杯咖啡或者一壶茶，细细慢慢地品味这部剧情片。
战争不只是打打杀杀，但没有打打杀杀不好看啊
没太看懂，在电影院昏昏欲睡了。
谁受得了科林费斯那深情的眼神，老男人，可恶
值得一看的经典兵不厌诈案例，扭转乾坤的特洛伊木马。
一大票颜值巨高的英国演员演绎的主旋律战争片，高颜值和双排扣军装的视觉盛宴。另外超级喜欢各个角色的口音。
两鬓斑白谈及退休还要给小小孩念床边故事的脸叔，这也太老来得子了难道有和达西先生一样的前情吗！仍然拥有让人倾倒的魅力，没想到这段情愫的结局处理是点到为止。谍战片而言只展示了计谋，而没有德方那边对决交手的刻画。在西班牙的行动全靠那位派驻官男女通吃，颜值很没说服力。最后情报人员一齐等前线消息，明知一定是好结果，仍让人无端泪目。
平淡中有一点点意思尤其是前面四个人给马丁上校立人设这里。脸叔卢爹还有我当年从《悲惨世界》电影版里就喜欢的那位比小雀斑更有魅力的帅哥还是那么迷人。感情戏确实浪漫但没必要…
优秀的作战骗局往往能够让一场胜仗减少不必要的损失，情报战是保证提前布置攻坚战能够精准有效的关键，在打心理战的同时在瞬息万变的局势里能够随机应变，时时掌握主动权。在电影中的这场情报战中故意泄露的飞行员信息经过精心的编织，人设侧写上反复考量，情书和信件字斟句酌，做到了事无巨细。但在突发情况出现打乱原计划时，还要逢山开路遇水搭桥，既要平稳将情报送至希特勒的书桌上，还不能让德方因为情报的唾手可得而起疑，过程惊险曲折也充斥着巧合，纳粹军方也在暗中推波助澜，众方势力都在翘首期盼二战的提前结束，最终在波澜壮阔的二战史上书写了尽显情报战智慧的闪耀篇章。
叙事确实有点跳 但还可以接受 只是这样做没有让人物太饱满 想复制至黑时刻但是剧本深度与流畅度还是差点 可是纵观整个故事还是不错的
