Haunted by the memory of Walter Holderlin, a soldier he killed during World War I, French musician Paul Renard (Phillips Holmes) confesses to a priest (Frank Sheridan), who grants him absolution. Using the address on a letter he found on the dead man's body, Paul then travels to Germany to find his family.
As anti-French sentiment continues to permeate Germany, Dr. Holderlin (Lionel Barrymore) initially refuses to welcome Paul into his home, but changes his mind when his son's fiancée Elsa identifies him as the man who has been leaving flowers on Walter's grave. Rather than reveal the real connection between them, Paul tells the Holderlin family he was a friend of their son, who attended the same musical conservatory he did.
Although the hostile townspeople and local gossips disapprove, the Holderlins befriend Paul, who finds himself falling in love with Elsa (Nancy Carroll). When she shows Paul her former fiancé's bedroom, he becomes distraught and tells her the truth. She convinces him not to confess to Walter's parents, who have embraced him as their second son, and Paul agrees to forego easing his conscience and stays with his adopted family. Dr. Holderlin presents Walter's violin to Paul, who plays it while Elsa accompanies him on the piano.
The film's original title, The Man I Killed, was changed to The Fifth Commandment to avoid giving "wrong impressions in the minds of the public about the character of the story." It ultimately was released as Broken Lullaby.
律师是要争取当事人的最大利益，还是尊重当事人意愿。
Bug确实有些多，被现实架空了的新时代香港主旋律
强迫症让我看完的。最好看的居然是游艇上两个老戏骨的对手戏。
中规中矩，最后慷慨陈词那一段过于突兀。不过看到廖启智，觉得真好啊。
其实节奏还是不错的，只不过大团圆结局的是建立在死者也是富家女，并且爹肯为了她不惜一切代价，不然主角再努力，结局走向也不可能是抓到真凶
这种类型的港片，应该在80年代末就有了吧，30余年未有变化；方中信、廖启智、曾江等等的作品，80年代末也进入大陆了，30余年未有变化；老戏骨的戏是好，可是剧本是30年未有变化之套路！00后的人肯定不知道港片曾经居然那么辉煌过！
2021年了，我看到一部20年代的TVB。
律师的操作应该违反职业守则了吧
法律题材居然拍的如此弱智，这个题材在国内还是吃不开……
廖叔演技没得说 特别第一次出庭那个眼神 有被凶到了 看这部剧才知道这是廖叔最后一部 唉
不知道有没有人注意到片中角色的名字，尤其是曾氏父子和杨姓男子。。。我以为会很复杂，曾父和儿子在泳池边那个眼神，我以为会有一个反转，结果没有，雷律师最后被指控伪造文书时的陈述太过理想主义了，虽然起到了煽情和带节奏升华主题的作用，但是仓促中拉夸了整部电影内涵，总觉得他还想说些什么不能过审的东西。吊销执照三年，挺好的，当做休息了。
廖启智和曾江在船上的对手戏好爽！
认钱大状一遇到正义菜鸟和陈年旧案的受害人立刻就变回了从前那个只爱正义不爱钱的律师？所有证人证据都没了的时候，律师亲自上阵作伪证然后一切迎刃而解？结局不要太假了好不好！
这剧情开头铺得这么满，后面这么简单。。。这也太。。。没劲了吧~！
说实话，有时候真的支持用不正当的手段去获得正义的结果，毕竟很多时候法律被权力操纵。以及不谈恋爱，屁事没有；不找已婚男，小命不会丢。
所以最后赢得公理是因为有钱…看到一群老面孔真好…
三、香港必须广泛建立中共基层党组织。
总结剧情：用资本打败资本
廖启智最后一部戏 智叔演技一直无可挑剔 虽然该片是网大 RIP智叔
并不感觉很烂，也算是智叔的一部遗作，不得不说，智叔演技一如既往的好，尤其是在游艇上的戏，真是很强势，表面上最后是正义战胜了恶势力，但没有智叔饰演的这个角色最后怎么也圆不回来了，庭审戏拿出赵警官录音真是让我出乎意料，还是金钱战胜了权势。方中信最后的那番话也很有韵味
