贝蒂·戴维丝官司败诉重回华纳,却争取到一定范围内选角权利。此时华纳将制片重责交给新作风的赫尔·华和斯,开始“高成本、精制作”的路线。贝蒂在此情况下感到如鱼得水,很快演出了另一部再度获得金像奖最佳女主角奖的代表作《红衫泪痕》:以南北战争时期美国南方为背景,描述一名个性倔强的美女在任性地失去她的男友之后,再想尽办法将已经找为有妇之夫的他抢回来。此片在划时代的《乱世佳人》出现之前年面世受到好评。贝蒂跟导演威廉·怀勒连续合作了三部影片,确立了贝蒂的超级女星地位。事实上1937年起,贝薷连续十年赢得“票房皇后”的美誉,被推为“美国国影坛第一夫人”,这种殊荣在影坛上相当罕见。假如对贝蒂的银幕形象细心观察,可发现她鲜少扮演善待其它女人的角色,通常是跟别人怨对、抗争,甚至发生激烈的争执,充份显示出“同性相斥”的强烈排挤色彩。同时,贝蒂的角色也证明了女人一样可以强悍无情、咄咄逼人,甚至可以剥夺了一向被视为男性的特权,使男人反要吃女人的亏,可说是首位“女性电影”的诠释者。

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
