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'.

一人一狗的经典电影了属于是，还能从中看到美军的一面
没有预想的好看，平平淡淡一般般，不过钱老板的身材怎么还是那么好啊，谁能不迷糊
杰伦哈尔大段室内独角戏，全靠演技、台词撑。伊桑霍克声音出演，剧情时间跨度为一个晚上，故事相对完整及格水平
we don't deserve dogs!!😭🐶 單囊是來看狗狗的呀誰理查寧塔圖啊 不過查寧也算這類型裡有趣一點的了 開場沒多久就自嘲一下美白男的主旋律所以給過 內容也比預期溫馨做作小品還精采一點 看到Bill Burr很開心他Standup或Podcast有時也會聊狗 其實覺得讓他來演憤世嫉俗老兵帶狗公路電影應該更好看
有丹麦版的珠玉在先，翻拍起来文本上自然不会有什么大错，何况导演还是这种类型电影的老手。但是人物有几处的动机我还是觉得欠合理，好在Jake的表演在线，多少减轻了瑕疵，特别是全程多处近景特写，Jake都担得住。
演技与情节，台词，节奏，都恰到好处，于是很无聊的故事也被演绎的相当精彩
曾经有过自己的狗狗～冠自己的姓，正式起名字，而不是只叫汪汪辣么随意……虽然仅有短短一段时间，但多少次梦里都会有它～于是也更看这样的片子被催泪，更何况男主的壮硕，绝对非娘气那种，受战争的伤看着心疼。
6.6/10 和《偷窥者》比较惊悚效果和氛围营造要更强一些，但故事曲折性和反转效果则不如后者
一人一狗的公路片，你看那条狗，像不像个人。这是我看过相互情感戏最少的宠物片。
我以为狗+公路片这种题材,只有我国才能拍这么无聊
另类忠犬电影，露露是一只军犬，性情凶猛，老兵男主带着他参加战友的葬礼。
剧情确实太老套，但全片氛围感较好。看到男友有点出戏，总想起他在爱恋里面的表演，以为又是一部情色片。
看到狗狗趴到主人的靴子那里😭自动打开眼泪阀门。中规中矩的剧情，但是一开头看到狗狗册子的时候好喜欢😢没想到是关于老兵的故事……角度还是不错吧。
Predictable but warm 多一颗星给钱老板的身材
应该属于公路片吧，同样的感情，不同的表达方式。相似的经历和处境，无法重返战场，使得和狗狗相处的过程，更多的是同病相怜和对现实的无奈。没有讲述什么大道理，只是惺惺相惜的“兄弟”。 ps.最近电影看的少了，越发得看不进去，一个半小时的片子，还要分两次才能看完。还是要沉下心来！
无法拒绝关于狗狗的电影，大老粗男主哄lulu进浴缸那好可爱，lulu趴在莱利的鞋上那🥺（另，钱老板身材还是很赞啊）
很棒的一部美国老兵与动物的公路片，钱宁塔图姆的形象很适合这个角色！
