回复 :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'.Roger Philip Mellor

回复 :麦克是查普曼公司的一名职业经理人。平时的工作就是凭借其小时候主演的电视剧《与麦克在一起》而赢得的知名度来招募儿童演员,经过形象设计和专业表演指导后向需要制作广告片的生产商推荐,然后按照比例收取费用维持公司的运行。为此,麦克的身边聚集着一群各具特长的孩子。巴瑞就是这群孩子中的一位,只是巴瑞的傲慢使彼此之间的合作显得并不默契。感恩节这天,麦克为一家火鸡快餐店开张剪彩后,在大街上碰到了一个叫安吉的小姑娘。由于家庭的原因,安吉养成了偷窃的恶习。在看过安吉因再次行窃而被失主抓住的一番表演后,一种直觉告诉麦克,在安吉的身上有着其他孩子无与伦比的表演天赋。于是,麦克冒以父亲的名义把安吉从围观的人群中解救出来,并达成了合作的协议。第二天,安吉带着生活用品不请自到地住到了麦克脏乱不堪的家里。经过短暂的培训后,麦克就把安吉推荐给了阳光灿烂饼业集团的老总柯可兰先生。结果,安吉的表演不负众望,广告片的摄制也非常成功。就在麦可和搭档埃德为安吉的成功欣喜不已时,由于安吉在文件上不真实的签名引发了法律问题,已经摄制好的广告片为此也不得播出。为了帮助安吉因家庭原因造成的心灵孤寂,麦可特意找到安吉的爸爸,并在圣诞节到来这天举办了一个别出心裁的聚会。麦克的真诚让安吉无比的快乐,当安吉得知麦克赖以生存的查普曼公司因为巴瑞的“跳槽”而面临破产时,安吉用孩子们自己的方法把巴瑞找了回来,一群天真快乐的孩子终于又得以能和麦克在一起。
