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'.

火吻的戏份有点少啊，希望未来戏再多点
个人觉得比《东方快车谋杀案》差。如果说前作还能凭借《最后的晚餐》式构图与黑白闪回加些画面分的话，这一部甚至连摄影构图都显得偷懒了。除了依次掠过每个人的那个毫无新意的长镜头，很难找出还有什么让我印象深刻的点，对原作更大的改编幅度也造成了不少难以自圆其说的剧情Bug。更不用说艾米•汉莫那灾难式的演技，令我在观影过程中不住地翻白眼……
选角都挺成功的。每次人物要开始泪盈双眼了就一直怼大特写太没必要了。再这样下去感觉肯尼斯布拉纳离被网暴不远了。
阿加莎的小说改编成电影都评分很低啊，不知道是对原著期待太高不满浓缩的剧情还是真的就觉得阿婆的推理小说不行。。反正我看的还挺起劲儿的，一个人在影院包场看的，啊～周一的早上除了我还有谁去影院看电影呢，哈哈哈，而且从家到影院只需要3分钟，只是可惜影院一般，灯太亮了= =！【喜欢里面妈妈画的埃及金字塔放风筝的人～而且她也是全片的“人间清醒”，爱情就是那么回事咯，残念～
6/10。前段过于平缓沉闷，后段剧情又太密集仓促。波洛总一副苦大仇深的样子。
能把阿婆的故事拍稀碎，也是一种反向的超能力，我觉得没吃晚饭冒着冷风花着钱跑去看它的我才是惨案本身。
看过原著知道结局纯粹是看演员了，说实话卡司真的非常到位，三角恋三位和我看原著想象的演员一模一样。一起看的小伙伴吐槽毫无推理直接给结论哈哈哈。总的来说还行吧，魔改没改太差，菠萝个性比东方列车那部要贴近原著一丢丢
真诚希望Kenneth Branagh可以别再演波洛了，也希望他别再导电影了…我承认可能是我对他有很大偏见，从去年贝尔法斯特到这个我真的蛮无语的。他的野心真的很大，他的导演作品和演技都给我一种在不停炫技的感觉，有一种强大的自恋型人格笼罩着这部电影，可能真的只是我个人偏见吧，但是我真的不是很喜欢，真的太难受了，以及那个胡子，我的天啊，真的要命！！！
AMC DOLBY 3.5分，非原著书迷喜欢上世纪初这种调调的可以当犯罪悬疑片看，演员和服化道都十分用心，部分人可能会觉得画面不错。感觉是最近院线唯一能看的商业片。我不反感他对波洛进行新的演绎，对称强迫症和少量感情线都能接受，但最大的问题就像影片里黑豹妹妹对他的评价：自命不凡且冷酷。阿婆小说里的波洛也自视甚高，但他十分可爱且关心他人，心怀正义和大爱。Kenneth的演技很不错，但导演水平不怎么过关。给盖尔加朵强行加的片段十分尴尬，继而造成叙事头重脚轻，探案完全沦为陪衬。从我个人观点出发，看似华丽的画面实际上空洞廉价，至少在Dolby荧幕上表现不佳，导演审美或者CG和摄影都很有问题。
为什么疫情后的电影都做这么油腻，和波洛莫名其妙的感情戏一样反胃，肯爵士魔改你妈呢，调色像屎一样生怕不知道这是埃及，从头到尾泡在荷尔蒙里面，肯爵士把自己搞的像个美国土大款兴冲冲买了版权大布景大明星跟着拍。
我的九十五块必须退八十块出来
肯尼思·布拉纳的 Poirot 添加了很多不属于 Poirot 的特质，尤其是动作戏但又没能演绎出 Poirot 该有的儒雅、睿智和那一套优雅的行动，当他说出那句"little grey cells" 时，只有生搬硬造的尴尬；在塑造 Linnet 这个角色时，因为盖尔·加朵而添加了更多无用的、浮夸的场景和造型，完全没有阿婆作品还有的克制、收敛。更别提和大卫·苏切的 Poirot 相比，这拍的根本不是 Poirot
印尼导演的第三个故事相当带劲，剩余几个故事我觉得都挺一般的，转眼间离我看前三部过去三年了，不过我还是很爱这个系列，cult牛逼！
惊呆了，现在连nword都不让说了吗？这就删评论了？？
故事多少有些仓促而无趣。因为没看过原著，所以也无从判断到底是原著还是改编的问题。但新加入的种族和同性的元素，显然对剧情推进毫无帮助，那就显得相当多余了不是。
1. 这个故事看了太多遍了。2. 这个导演的自恋令人发指。3. 我欣赏阿婆对感情线的一贯处理和敏锐洞察，及让波洛不碰爱情的人设。How DARE him?
又名《It's always the husband》
改编缺乏想象力，走心理流派，侦探人格分裂成为最终凶手多好。
③如果说有最大的不足，应该是通篇的浮夸风格，但是这也是和当时，或者说肯尼思·布拉纳本人认知的「浮华时代」相符的，观众还是应该需要包容更多的呈现形式。
