　　导演山本萨夫是日本电影界社会派大师，他试图通过五代一家的兴盛、衰落来完成一部日本军国主义的侵华战争史。社会大家庭，家庭小社会，五代家本身就参与了对中国的掠夺和侵略，描写这一家的发展变化自然可以举重若轻地体现出那段时间的日本侵华过程。①本部描写的是日本军国主义的侵华上升时期。影片曾获1970年《电影旬报》十佳奖第二名。②这是日本电影界社会派大师山本萨夫所拍反映侵华战争史的第二部。时间是中日对峙阶段，中国的抗日运动开始发展壮大，五代一家也受到影响。影片曾获1971年《电影旬报》十佳奖第四名。③这是日本电影界社会派大师山本萨夫所拍反映侵华战争史的第三部，描写了侵华战争如何从最初的一往无前到节节败退到一败涂地的过程，而五代家庭也从大发战争投机财走向了分崩离析，家中的成员也在这空前激烈的动荡中选择了各自不同的道路和归宿。三部曲拉开了日本电影1970年代波澜壮阔的社会派巨片的帷幕，这可以说是导演山本萨夫对日本电影史的伟大贡献。影片曾获1973年《电影旬报》十佳奖第十名。

　　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'.
