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'.

异国他乡，语言不通的设定，加强了被跟踪的惊悚感，剧情挺精致的，只是双方的冲突张力做的不够强，像女邻居，寓所老太，房东等角色，没利用起来，本来变态男最早是偷窥女邻居，女主来了后因为比较敏感，激起了变态男的注意，隔壁街区还刚刚发生女性凶案，这些元素都没有编织好，戏剧性没推到顶，点到为止，导致女主与变态的交锋，都在意料之中，结尾的翻转也有点超现实了，仿佛女主在说:他妈的老公，要你有何用！
不知道有多少对本地现状的描绘。
前面无声的恐惧非常压抑，最后的反杀实在是拉垮，又是一个为了概念而创作的故事，氛围大于剧情。永远相信自己听到和看到的，不要被周围人的否定搞的自我怀疑，相信自己的直觉和主观判断，同时也要保持冷静，有时候好奇并不是一件好事。
解说/来到异国他乡的妻子语言不通，并且遭到丈夫的忽视，而隔壁楼发生了凶杀案，似乎有人在偷窥她。女主结识了隔壁的脱衣舞娘，但她突然消失了，上门交涉偷窥者，反被对方报警。女主心灰意冷准备离开这个国度，原来的偷窥者其实就是杀人凶手，最终被女主成功反杀。总之女人要相信自己的直觉。
三星都给女主的美貌 每一个造型都风情十足 惊艳动人 特别是一开始女主独自逛街还有和老公偶遇犯罪现场
5.5/10 框架陈旧，故事发展毫无想象力。
还不如偷窥者，起码那部烂片还有女主的大胸可看

语言不通带来的疏离和孤独感萦绕全片。大约也是正因此才看到了大家所看不到的。女人虽然敏感多疑，男人啊，老婆的话要听进去，要当真啊。
#SIFF 男人有TM什么用？还得靠自己 最后真解气 全场鼓掌
从某个角度来说，我们总是更在意自己的感受而忽略了对方，也许生活中碰到谋杀的几率很小，但其他事情不也是如此吗，很适合情侣来看看
看的快睡着了，除了稍微养眼外，剧情太拖沓了。
拍的不错，但是剧情太单薄了，女性的恐惧，放在中国很应景
正经3分片 不多不少 刚好3分 想起留学的时候 卧室也没窗户 但老子当天就去搞了个窗帘 你说气不气😊
只有我一直在等我想象中的反转吗？比如丈夫才是“蜘蛛”……
一个美国演员演了阿联酋出品讲罗马尼亚的影片
信任还是怀疑，最后看见跟踪狂被杀真是大快人心
两星有点委屈吧。三星有点不够。
场景、氛围都没问题，但最后的结局有点草草了事。虎头蛇尾的电影。
此类电影的同质化严重，很难拍出新意。空间感所带来的惊悚氛围恰到好处，将女性视角下的日常恐惧表现的也极其到位。试想一下，男性在夜晚无人的街道走路，背后跟着一个女性，男的大多不害怕。而反转性别，女性走着后面跟着一个男人，作为女性自然会害怕，因为这是力的差距以及媒体上偶发报道的社会性恶性事件所共同打造的一个恐惧症。你让她不害怕，让她“rational”，很抱歉，做不到。
