电影根据真实事件改编。
故事发生在19世纪动荡又混乱的英格兰,布克(西蒙·佩吉 Simon Pegg 饰)和海尔(安迪·瑟金斯 Andy Serkis 饰)是一对盗墓人,他们非法盗取墓穴中值钱的陪葬品,再将其换成数目可观的金钱纳入囊中。陪葬品毕竟有限,盗墓赚钱并不能让他们成为腰缠万贯的富翁,于是,邪恶的两人开始打起了尸体的主意。
他们将尸体贩卖给了一个名叫罗伯特(汤姆·威尔金森 Tom Wilkinson 饰)的医生,从中赚取巨额利润,但随着时间的流逝,为数不多的死者已经逐渐无法满足海尔和布克越来越大的胃口,就这样,偷窃尸体的两人成为了制造尸体的两人。短短1年之内,就有17人在海尔和布克的屠刀下丧命,但在行凶作恶的同时,这两人也在向自己的坟墓迈进着。
安吉警官(马里奥·卡萨斯 Mario Casas 饰)是第七禁毒组的组长,奉上级命令,他要带领禁毒组连根铲除在当地发展得根深蒂固的毒品交易网络。要完成这项危险的任务,少不了拉法尔(安东尼奥·德拉·托雷 Antonio de la Torre 饰)的帮助,拉法尔不仅是安吉的好搭档,同时也是一个经验丰富的老警察。
在安吉和拉法尔的合作下,黑恶势力节节败退,尽管禁毒组所使用的手段并非全部都光明正大,但他们显然站在了天平上标明了“正义”的那一端。就在任务即将顺利完成的节骨眼上,一个神秘女人的出现扰乱了一向成熟稳重的拉法尔的步伐,在怀疑与信任之间,第七禁毒组面临着前所未有的考验。
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
