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'.

肯尼斯没事做可以去搞原创IP，大可不必在这霍霍阿婆，虽然不是原著党，但总觉得要对原著有尊敬吧。这寄吧改得什么啊。
选角就不合适 Simon看着就不聪明的 改编其他的就算了 波洛加感情戏有什么意义 人设都变了 别折腾经典了
对于外行的观众来说就是一场彻头彻尾的灾难，毫无逻辑与意义可言的炫技看的人昏昏欲睡，尽管肯尼斯布拉纳熟练地掌握了用镜头里的一切配合台词叙述，然而文本的虚空与技法的过犹不及造就了一部花里胡哨的“废话电影”，整部片子就如同波洛那随着翕动的嘴上下翻飞的夸张大胡子一样浮夸而毫无价值，一遍又一遍把这个毁掉了原本就不精彩的阿加莎原著小说的剧本用原地TP的方式糊到观众脸上。学过电影的可能会给这片里一些精湛的技法留点面子分，但是对不起，我是个门外汉，还是个南蛮山炮，俗人一个，你让我看的懂的一切东西里没有任何一样值得称道。
请大家不要在电影院看阿加莎的任何一部小说，阿门
没看过原版，还好。没大问题，除了节奏太缓慢了，前四十多分钟都没死人我是没想到的，不是铺垫的问题，是废的空镜头太多了，不是实拍你甩这么美的合成景廉价灯有啥用。这次很好的规避掉了以往观众和剧中人物消息不对等的问题，该有的颜料、手帕、手枪都给出了关键性台词和镜头的线索，同时也给出了很多混淆性线索，很合格，本格推理部分比上一部东方快车强。同时在主线进行的情况下，支线的波洛卸掉伪装走向幸福的成长线很不错。提问一个小问题：22口径的小枪能打穿两个人嘛…PS:阿加莎这不比剧本杀缜密多了，稍微改一改本土化提升日程
非常平庸，该改的不改，不该改的乱加，根本不想知道波洛的情史和胡子的来历。推理部分睡过去一次。
开头一段讲留胡子的原因还是挺惊喜的。看过1978年版本的所以并没有什么好猜的。画面好美，看得更想去埃及了。
及格水平不能更多，第一不如老版，第二不如上一部东方快车，登场人物有些改动性设置就算亮点了，前面一小时漫长的铺垫让人瞌睡连天，谋杀开启后匆匆过场的推理又敷衍毛躁，而且布拉纳的自恋属性在这一部已经拉满到我快要无法忍受，好在是群戏十分出色，不至于太跳戏。
论为什么布拉纳明明知道自己过于自恋，还全程夸张表演？为什么加朵美艳刚强，还总演神人勿近的冷淡花瓶角色？全片弥漫着上世纪好莱坞浮夸爱情片的质感。
为什么呢？
失望枉费1216天等待比上一部还垃圾，盖尔·加朵美死后剧情无聊至极。露丝·莱斯利不忠心的女仆可怜主人也是笨，富家女爱穷人注定没好结果。艾玛·麦基成熟性感与年龄不符，为爱为财富疯狂。两个男的死有余辜，一个小偷还谈爱情。一个活好贪财好色，死于美色。夺命侦探又装又立，这些人怎么敢在他目前装还当杀人犯！！！
神奇女侠、《傲骨之战》女主、《老友记》Emily的妈、锤哥、《性教育》女主……这么多优秀的、知名的演员，拍出来个这？男主你不说是侦探我还以为是咆哮帝呢😅
其实还行啊。终于懂了他们为啥不把锤哥换掉，推波助澜啊这是哈哈哈
开头Bouc直接出场介绍每个人以及各自的嫌疑，让波洛在船上与各个角色交谈，让Linnet和各个角色的恩怨慢慢展开不好吗，这么懒？Linnet看见现任的ex当场崩溃，精明能干聪明勇敢以及可恨可爱的气质全无，这是认真的吗？！凶器一开始就出现，有毛病？选角都好差，演技更是全无，一家人说两家口音本来就够好笑了，只有Annette Bening一如既往演技在线。
（3.5粒星兒）Emma實在是好美～ 尤其紅裙走來的造型！開片就猜想過兩個人是不是為了女主的錢而要工作機會 後來的紅色顏料丟失大概就猜到了軟飯老公為了遺產 總體中規中矩吧 但審美是在線的 結局雖然開放式但男主還挺浪漫～
多么政治正确的一版尼罗河，同性问题、种族问题，全是现在好莱坞喜闻乐见的标配。要是能把心思多花些在剧情连贯上、逻辑推理上，就更好了。
大胡子的来历没几个人关心吧？而且，如果皮肤真烂成那样，胡子也是长不出来的。每个人似乎都有作案的动机，电影仍然没有跳出套路。套路就是动机越大的越不可能是凶手，越没有作案时间的往往越是真凶。推理的过程不是很让人信服，因为什么原因推导出什么结果的部分比较弱，证据也仅仅是褪色的手帕一条，然后凶手就招供了，放弃了抵抗。服化道不错，其它优点不太明显。
摄影很不错。
看开头的时候我妈问我，他是不是放错了，我们看的对不对呀？
绿幕感如此之重以至于没法好好看风景（？）为何要魔改……
