简介: 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

简介: 試想這樣的情境,你搭便車,結果由於要開長時間的車,於是司機跟你輪流開車。輪到你開的時候,開著開著,發現司機居然死了...  一不做二不休,將屍體棄置荒野後,你弄成他(有那麼一點點《職業:記者》的橋段,但兩者的出發點與情境完全不同,再說這裡證件上也沒有照片,要變換身份更容易),繼續開著車。當你去加油時,順道載了一個女子,在你還在腦裡想著這女子的美貌時,她居然轉過來對你說,他是該車主的前女友(還是前妻,反正是這樣的關係)!你當然絕望,雖然你老實地說,你根本沒有殺害車主(但誰會相信?)  然而更詭異的還在後頭(劇情真的是在不斷迴轉,雖然你只是很單純地想從東岸到西岸跟跑去好萊塢發展的女友結婚),正當你以為你找到一個同夥來解決你的困境,畢竟對你來說,到底車主留下七百多塊還是應該是三千塊,你都不在意,因為你的目的地是去找女友結婚呀。但是她的陰謀卻讓你害怕:車主久未謀面的父親死了,報紙說這家人在找車主來繼承幾十萬的財產...她於是要你假冒到底(這...這似乎在另一部美國片,且有點公路電影的影片中看到類似的情節,在那裡,主角殺害的已經不是原車主,而是另一個貪財之徒,最後他對號入座地到了當地,警方要逮捕的,也就是自稱某某的人,而他以為他因為殺了某某而被定罪,但不然,他是殺了殺某某的人而被捕...無奈吧。然而這到底是哪部片,有人能幫我解答嗎?),但你的良心過不去,畢竟假扮他的這幾天已經夠你累的了。但她卻以報警來要脅你。於是在汽車旅館內發生了另一件離奇死案:隔著反鎖的房,你居然誤殺了她!!  連掩飾都不了,現在你只求她的死會反轉回他身上,最好案情就會這樣被猜測:他殺了她,然後不知何因而死於荒地...  所以,我想,片名應該翻譯成《迴轉》好了。(文肥內)
