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.
师傅长得好于和伟……
不过就是个爽片而已，看似平凡的老裁缝设计了所有人，帮助有梦想的女孩逃离的故事。
3.5/5 密闭空间话剧电影，叙事和多重反转完全依靠台词，有点太话剧而削弱了悬疑的紧张感。如果剧本能再打磨，精简一下台词的话会更符合电影的节奏。MR的演技撑起了整部片。
封闭空间渐入佳境的心理戏，打光和服装都是艺术品
角落里坐着失望的领路人，我也想进去给她一沓零用钱，可还是把门缝合上了。
20220603，单一场景的佳作，剧情转换再转换合情合理；谈笑间樯橹灰飞烟灭，最后5分钟，左青龙右白虎，7分。
比期待的好很多，铃木保奈美依然是我心目中的女神。影片的理念也是我也是天堂电影院一直在坚持做的事情，不去讨好影迷讨好观众，而是你要去告诉观众什么才是真正好的有趣有意义的电影。
此前对北野武拍电影之前的人生经历知之甚少，看完这部电影，不得不说北野武滚烫的人生真是充满了传奇色彩啊。
ps：瑞奇好帥！
嗯 觉得男主的表演有些让人出戏 虽然我也知道北野武因受伤导致面瘫 还会间歇性眨眼 这是对人物的还原 但和女生第一次在舞台遇见的那场戏（那时候北野武还没受伤）表演实在有些奇怪…
影帝的老年妆乍一看还以为是北野武真人来客串了，最后的师徒情还是让人有点动容的，可是千春小姐啊，唉……
不过就是个爽片而已，看似平凡的老裁缝设计了所有人，帮助有梦想的女孩逃离的故事。
哭了，是我最爱的师徒关系，影帝和大泉洋都演得很好，尤其影帝，又第1001次爱上北野武。师父对阿武说，如果车费有找零，记得回来还我。不要被人笑，要逗人笑。师父对观众说，不要给他鼓掌，他演得这么烂你这样只会害了他。师父说，我是谐星。
❸我们可以预见两个版本：国产片、舞台剧）
这么好看的传记片不多了，而且这才拍了北野武做漫才前的时光诶。
舞台剧的范儿，全片单场景，全靠马克里朗斯演技撑场子，反转有点刻意，细想BUG不少。
看过北野武自传《无聊的人生，我死也不要》后就会知道，他年轻时在浅草的生活可比这部电影里要燥多了哈哈哈。
如撥洋葱一般，一層一層地，早就感覺這個英國裁縫一定不簡單，不露聲色的如果自己沒有秘密，也是知道秘密的人，最後的結尾還晃了一下，非常精巧。
所以也就是看个乐吧
非常有五六十年代好莱坞电影水准，小品式场景，通过一连串对话讲出整个故事，也依赖几位演员演技不错，没有特别拉垮的，所以看得很连贯很过瘾。虽然一开始就能猜出老头儿非比寻常，但悬念藏得还不错，算是近段时间可看性比较高的悬疑片了。
