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.
紧张氛围烘托得不错，剧情太俗套了，属于用脚趾都能猜到的那种。
成年男人比任何妖魔鬼怪都可怕，偷窥的成年男人再加上了变态二字。释放女性低安全感的焦虑的惊悚片，整体完成度很好。
女主营造的这氛围 确实瘆人 可见直觉这东西还是准的。
这剧情70多分钟可以完的，铺垫太长，浪费时间。
氛围很到位，想起来之前看过的《84年夏天》，差不多的剧情，都很简单，很有意思
杀个人也杀的那么不彻底，结果被干了吧！原来之前那把枪给到了这个地方，再就是这个变态男的选角，我觉得是特别的成功，这哥们儿一看面相就是个极其阴暗的那种人。
从头到尾 给了女主一个被“孤立”的环境 ，太窒息了
文本很老气，女导演要表达的女性困境一开始就已经说清但在随后一个小时里并没有更多的深入以至于整个故事都缺乏变化和惊喜，倒是选角很合适，麦卡很适合演这种身处困境中的孤独女性，而戈曼就很适合演寡言的变态
氛围真的拍的不错。视角让人代入。就是稍微有点容易猜到剧情发展。然后剧情上有些地方还不够真实。
男人讲理性，女人讲感觉。全片凶手没有露出马脚，最后就石锤了？如果，我是说如果，所有的事都拿这个逻辑去判断，啥都别干了。
女主好看 各种造型好看
当然，这只是可能……
监视男该打脸了！
剧情很俗套，不过吸引力尚可，至少还看得下去
本来还期待女主去找被害女邻居的前男友在一起的 结果就那么结束了 那个男人比她老公靠谱多了感觉
氛围制造全靠不开灯或者小台灯，画面暗到看都看不清，我对有些欧美悬疑惊悚片只有一句话想说：你们真的缺电到灯都开不起吗？
看了下面的评论意识到不能多评论，就这样吧。。。
非要弄个傻逼男主做靶子。。。
#2022 圣丹斯# 又一部改写希区柯克《后窗》的作品，但是作为悬疑惊悚片，悬念铺垫的太拖沓了，女主内心的疑虑和外部环境之间的冲突处理的太粗糙了，结局也不太符合医学逻辑，唯一的亮点是中间的一个小反转很出乎意料
丈夫、邻居、警察都无法理解女主的恐惧。谁能想到呢，半个世纪前铅黄片只是一种低俗的噱头，时至今日却成为现实主义电影了。
