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'.

故弄玄虚得很厉害，比如开头那一长段长段的对话和自白，比如结尾还非要露一下手臂纹身装个逼……
《套装》很像希区柯克的《夺魂索》或波兰斯基的《杀戮》，封闭空间内来回穿梭，桌子底下有个大炸弹，一直维持着悬疑张力。《套装》并非完美无缺，虽然编织精巧，但受限于逼仄场景，无法展现真实黑帮氛围，很难想象一个纵横芝加哥的黑帮就这么几条枪几个人，在连续剧里挺不过前两集。故事也有些不合理之处，伦纳德下了盘超级复杂的大棋，但很多环节都在碰运气，里奇的中枪和弗朗西斯出门找播放设备不太可能事先预料到。
真的是 太！好！看！了！ 第一次看动作戏这么上头！都想再去电影院看一遍！孙锡久这个男人真的是太sexy了！妥妥的行走的男性荷尔蒙！2022我就认他一个！！
预期过高，比第一部差太多，动作场面设计成这样毫无可看性，韩国犯罪片里属于不及格了，都结束了还没高潮，马东锡也变成流量
剧作过于刻意。单论爽度，最后几分钟装逼时刻还是够味的，不够看。马克里朗斯和霍普金斯的体态还有台词都如出一辙，都很优雅，里朗斯甚至赢在露脸少，多了一份新鲜感，神秘感
可能期待太高，觉得也不过如此。一个想做好人的黑帮大boss的故事，反转和悬念都比较平平无奇。但摄影风格实在是很喜欢，特别是那泛黄的色调，爱了爱了。
热评说的这个词很对，“老派”。核心精神也是老派的，布景也是老派的，叙事方式也是老派的。总体来说不错看。如果加点时代背景会更好。
三星半。节奏有点慢，但和老裁缝的调调很吻合。剧情几度反转。
略有bug不过整体不错，悬疑拉满，演技精湛
反派塑造的太帅了，凶恶狠厉、西装暴徒，第一次露面那凌厉眼神一看就不简单，中间有场长镜头的动作戏也是牛逼的很，打斗场景基本都是紧闭空间内困兽之斗，又紧张又血腥
拍得没太多出彩的地方
这是个Cinema.
非常精彩，剧情几度反转，全部都是在一个房间里完成
精彩绝伦！好久没看到这么硬派的话剧电影了。Mark Rylance这内敛的演技太适合扮猪吃老虎了。
密闭环境下不断反转的舞台剧电影，颇有一点以前看《惊世狂花》的感觉。靠字字珠玑的对话、怀疑、自辨、圈套推进剧情。
两三个场景，7/8个人，不断的进场出场来串联起每一个小单元，整个故事靠人物对话层层推进，对人物台词和表演都很考验，虽然故事很简单甚至有些老套，但表演给电影打下了坚实的基础
老混子装文艺，王尔德也掩盖不了杀气。精装室内剧，情节太紧凑了，一点不觉得突兀。富二代装逼必然被雷劈，死都白死，一群社会人，法国黑鬼 爱尔兰垃圾，美国混子，都不好使，被老江湖玩死，最后的结尾火拼太精彩了，老江湖九纹龙史进附体，徒手肉搏不愧曾经挡六枪的不死硬汉，留下一句你们的套装都是我穿剩下的，挥挥手带不走一片美刀，爷就是有技术，爷换个地赚钱分分钟，可爷就爱的是这种掌控的赶脚！
这年头逼得人不得不对好莱坞也宽容一点，否则就没啥5星电影了。行业mapping体会：Cutter对Arch, Tailor对Programmer。
硕大的裁缝剪在布料上穿梭游走，一如形似木讷的老裁缝在黑帮内斗中灵活腾挪——九成依赖里朗斯大叔精湛演技撑起的准独幕剧。
Mark Rylance好强，作为单场景悬疑片剧本还是挺强的，最后结尾的反转其实没什么必要了，有点画蛇添足。
