这部电影在英格兰什罗普郡的十个星期内拍摄,由托马斯·克莱(Thomas Clay)执导和导演,由索拉纳·皮格特(Zorana Piggott)(《一个洞中的情侣》),罗布·坎南(《恋人与暴君》)和菲利普·鲍勃摄制。克莱的长期制片人已故的约瑟夫·朗(Joseph Lang)获得了死后的制作信用。
故事发生在1657年,位于什罗普郡一个偏僻的农场上,故事讲述了范妮·莱伊(Peanny)学会超越压迫性婚姻并发现一个新的可能性世界。
范妮·莱(Fanny Lye)与丈夫约翰·莱(Dance)和年幼的儿子亚瑟(Arthur)从事清教徒狭窄生活,两个有需要的陌生人出人意料地动摇了世界-一对年轻夫妇(福克斯(Fox),雷诺兹(Reynolds))被无情的警长(麦当劳)紧追和他的副手。
制片人皮格特(Piggott)说:“范妮·莱德·交付(Fanny Lye Deliver‘d)是一部独特而引人入胜的历史剧,在精神上比西方或现代惊悚片更接近西方或现代惊悚片。”
“首先,这是一个令人着迷的故事,一个简单,令人兴奋的叙述,以令人难以置信的强大而引人注目的表演和托马斯的独特眼光生动起来。”

Bait是一种黑白,手工制作,16毫米胶片制作的电影。许多关于鱼、网、龙虾、长靴、绳结和渔篮的特写镜头让人想起了蒙太奇景点的理论。对不同社会阶层的描述——可以说是阶级关系——也让人想起了英国电影中的社会现实主义传统。然而,最重要的是,在影像中不同层次的电影历史参考文献之下,当前许多政治关联正在等待被发现。
The picture-postcard idyll of the Cornwall fishing village is misleading. While fishing used to be a way of supporting oneself, wealthy London tourists have now descended and are displacing the locals, whose livelihood is thus threatened. The relationship between brothers Steven and Martin is also strained. Martin is a fisherman without a boat, since Steven started using it for far more lucrative tours for all the day-trippers. They’ve sold the family cottage and now it seems that the final battle to be fought is that with the new owners over the parking space next to the sea. Yet the situation soon gets out of hand, and not just because of the wheel clamp.
Bait is a black-and-white film shot on hand-processed 16mm. Numerous close-ups of fish, nets, lobsters, wellington boots, knots and catch baskets bring to mind the theory of a montage of attractions. The depiction of the different social strata – one could speak of class relations – is also reminiscent of the tradition of social realism in British cinema. Above all, however, a whole lot of current political relevance is waiting to be discovered beneath the different layers of film historical references contained in the images.
在1930年代,当时世界被战争而分裂,人类处在激情与痛苦当中。导演理查德·隆克瑞恩巧妙地将故事中的狡诈、阴谋、残暴,与当代法西斯象征主义结合在一起。伊安·麦克莱恩演出理查三世,他欲夺取兄长的王位,谋杀、骗婚、歼灭亲族无所不用其极,这样强烈的欲望,驱使他永无止尽的毁掉周遭的人。
影片是根据莎士比亚的名剧《理查三世》改编而成的,但是影片将故事发生的时间背景由原著中1483-1485年转换到1930年。将莎士比亚的剧作移植到其它年代,是电影人常常做的事,但是却不一定每次都做的好。难能可贵的是,这版《理查三世》不但以睿哲的智能改编了这部剧作,并且在不破坏莎翁美丽的词句下,为此剧注入现代的活力。
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'.

In London, the pregnant wife of an industrialist falls down the stairs, loses her sight and has no recollection of the events but suspects that a mentally traumatic experience prior to the fall caused her accident.
