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.
看见这部片子的时候 廖启智老师已经去世了 为了他 五星
就这么一个平平无奇的剧本，看的时候我都在想，不会就这么完了吧，就没有小高潮，小反转？结果直到最后，嗯，就是这。有老戏骨，三星吧
大概知道想拔到一个什么高度，但真的不行，讲故事很一般啊，廖启智遗作，有些唏嘘，打三星。
好久没看港片了，粤语听着真舒服…但是这剧情对不起这名字，还以为是控方证人类型的
一、搅屎棍英国的律师都不戴假髮了，这些外貌是中国人的法律职业人员还戴着可笑的东西。
Bug确实有些多，被现实架空了的新时代香港主旋律
勉勉强强勉勉强强的，能看完，中半段好一点点，前后都差两口气，整体制作，主创，演员都太淡了
但总的来说，因为有他两，所以还是可以看看吧。
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。
富二代不满政客唔畀名份，惹来杀身之祸；酒吧仔三支红酒+威士忌落肚，依然坚挺？！
垃圾玩意，一星给智叔，弹幕说兰博基尼的那个傻逼你出门小心被车撞死，老子第一个给你烧纸！
与其说是律政剧，不如说是复仇片，剧情依靠老戏骨张力十足，可整条主线无关法律公正，只有政商钱，有些剧情处理得当（控方律师），可惜以后没有这种片了。
这种电影可以一边吃饭一边看，不怕中间落下剧情
思想性1.5+1.5，艺术性0.8+1+0.8+0.8+0.8，观赏性2+1✔最终还是得以虎制虎
全程？？？我看了个啥？？？为啥所有坏人突然就自首了？？？结尾还要一番正能量输出……我的妈呀，仿佛看了个法制节目
剧情本身的悬疑色彩较弱，对于如今的观众来说，30分钟内猜到凶手毫无难度。但是本片当然也不会是将重点放在这里，而是从无数庭辩剧就一直讨论的话题，“法律到底是不是在维护正义？”律师是要维护公平和正义，还是要为当事人争取最大权益？”这个话题我早已有答案，也许每个人都有答案。
律师良心发现，但是走犯法的路是不是值得推荐，这又是另一个故事。所有的证据都不是百分之一百正确的
最近港片有点奇怪。故事主题弄的很大，但是叙事逻辑节奏跟不上主题。拍出来的东西外壳很华丽，演员没问题，就是尬
这个世界，因为正义，才有温度。
把一个可以向多方面发展的电影拍成了主旋律，把智叔遗作变成了网大，只能说导演垃圾！
