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.
但总的来说，因为有他两，所以还是可以看看吧。
很久之前香港很多律师题材的影视，这么多年过去好像没什么长进
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，信仰总是一点点被剥离，跌落现实。
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！
一群老戏骨，可惜故事不行啊，法庭戏太草率了。
这种伸张正义，法庭对决的桥段只存在于影视剧的幻想中，逻辑硬伤，看开头就知道结尾。给老戏骨加一星。三星吧
最后五分钟bgm好高级
18/10/2021 @ 高先電影院。唔似tvb，不過似hktv果期既電視劇囉。成個劇本就靠一班老戲骨同金句吸引觀眾。所以最後果個轉折位即係話觀眾聽要打破高牆就只能靠出古惑等牆入面狗咬狗？
即便是一个阳光普照的社会，也总有阴影，也总得吃饭，既然公义不能当饭吃，那就吃饱饭再行动了，雷律师在这一点上想的清清楚楚明明白白
不及格是因为全部都是老演员，骆应钧都快70岁的人了，还演没退休的检控官吗？新演员没有令人记忆的演出，这样下去香港电影真的是没有任何希望了。
《律政强人》精神续作，可惜的是智叔不是演kclau那类角色，作品看起来比较平庸甚至可以讲有点差，哎，以后再也看不到kc刘和张强的精彩对决
主演: 方中信 / 谭耀文 / 陈家乐 / 鲍起静 / 廖启智 / 曾江 / 张建声 / 何珮瑜 / 张松枝 / 骆应钧 / 陈嘉莉 / 陈保元 / 黄定谦
KC不做对家做同场；庭审与勾心斗角得个样。脉络散乱不成章，气势未聚过早泄。最有趣处实则应在方生的小手段和智叔的大决意，但最大篇幅却落点于相互勾结的阴暗处。阴暗并非不足道，但起势凶得仿佛要谴责些什么，还不如闭嘴好好做戏。戏如人生，戏没做好，谈什么人生？
二星半，挺平庸的，因为廖启智遗作，所以加半颗星。
港片真是夕阳西下了，这种片子真是烂的没底线了。。。
三星半吧，因为故事情节基本和猜测一致！没啥难度！但是不知不觉就看完了，另外方中信也挺帅的。
单单是因为这笔钱
演员很努力地在表演了 但剧作实在太普通了
2019年亚洲电影节的“技术原因”，捱到现在才终见天日；感觉若非廖启智和“扫黑”大潮，也是困难。立项时对四位主演争锋斗戏的预期，被淹没为一个有些轻佻简陋的律政剧“单集案件”；其实完全可以说，这是《律政强人》“Kent”与“KC”的后续吧。
这个电影很有意思，用比较弱的故事讲非常深刻的立意，加上一众演员的表演都较为出色，能对故事起到一定支撑和推动作用。电影主线就是一起凶杀案，之所以观感有些索然无味，与呈现顺序有一定关系。当然案件的侧重点在法律精神不是法证探案，所以反派出场就能锁定凶手身份，让前半程的悬疑感尽失。后半程的绝地反击完全属于燃烧个人魅力，无疑廖启智智叔大杀四方，其背后方中信的手段虽不光彩，行为却赢得了尊重。
