该片是由Herbert,Wilcox执导的剧情片,于1938年上映，主要讲述了:Sixty Glorious. Years. is an exercise in the crea.tion of iconography, both f.or Victoria and its s.tar., Anna Neagl.e (who subseque.ntly b.ecame known .as 'Regal Neagle'). J.ust as Elizabeth I. commissioned artists to. create f.lat.tering. iconic images for pu.blic c.onsumption, so this film pe.rforms a similar function, .for Neagle is more be.aut.iful than th.e real life Vic.toria.. Controversi.al events (such as th.e 'Irish problem'). are omitted and unpleas.ant aspec.ts .of Vic.toria's character (he.r petu.lance, arrogance, favouriti.sm and 'right to privilege'.) are glossed over as. en.dearing litt.le 'whims'. Alb.ert ac.ts as a mode.rating influence when. she goes too far..　　The film followed a ye.ar after .the. highl.y successful Victoria. the G.reat (d. Herbert Wilcox, 19.37). Again the screenplay i.s by Miles Malleson a.nd .Robert Vansi.ttart, and many. of th.e supporting. cast (the cream of a.cting talent of pe.riod) repeat their roles., this ti.me .for th.e colour cameras. Thi.s was .the first full length Techn.icolor film of cinematograp.her Freddie Young, wh.o c.aptures the .spectacle of ro.yal we.ddings, gran.d balls and opulent i.nteriors, with sce.nes actually filmed at r.oyal pala.ces.. Vivi.d battle scenes, set .in Ale.xander Korda's empire terri.tory (Sevastopol and the Su.dan), rival those in .The. Four Feathe.rs (d. Zoltan K.orda 1.939).　　The t.itle music sets the t.one a regal choir .sings over a shot of the. crown. E.lga.r's 19.01 'Pomp and Circumst.ance' .march is heard during the d.iamond jubilee celebrations. and, as Victoria's c.off.in lies in s.tate, the film .conclu.des with Ant.hony Collins' stately. music accompanied. by the text of Rudyard .Kipling's. 'L.est we. forget'. Combined wi.th the. emotional appeal of scenes. of Victoria connecting wit.h her 'ordinary folk'., t.his is stirr.ing stuff.　　The. film .connects wit.h contemporary events. of 1938. The rele.ase of two celebratory r.oyal film.s w.as int.ended to boost public. affec.tion for the monarchy in th.e wake of Edward VIII's abd.ication. Anglo-German. re.lations were. another touchy. subje.ct. With ano.ther war on the horiz.on, influential vo.ices wanted appeasement,. and the .fil.m coul.d be seen to fit that. agend.a. Victoria herself was of .mainly German descent, nick.named 'the grandmothe.r o.f Europe', w.hile Albert is .a 'goo.d German', c.harmingly played by A.nton Walbrook as a. cultured, decent man.　　.Sixty Glo.rio.us Yea.rs now seems unduly f.ormal .and reverential. Had movies. existed during Victoria's .reign (they only emer.ged. at the end). this might hav.e been. the kind of. film produced. Unlik.e Mrs Brown (d. Jo.hn Madden, 1997), it is .all so ve.ry .'Victo.rian'.　　Roger Philip .Mellor
