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.
本哈迪身材是不错，脸真娘炮，女主这胸，有一说一，绝了~
电影可分5个章节，偷窥，干预，陷入，真相，反杀。前三个部分无论镜头运用还是情节，都不错。人物塑造和情感发展也可以。但第四部分，皮帕陷入摄影师圈套，做爱，有点不可思议。虽然前面有伏笔。按理说她透露给女主，表示她是反感出轨的，怎么还会给出轨男上床？最后还毒死了夫妻二人，她要有这脑子，救不会成为人家偷窥实验的小小白鼠了。
一部帶有黑暗和扭曲故事的懸疑電影，除了大量的露骨鏡頭，故事情節和結局的反轉都談不上精彩。
片尾的大反转有点不太喜欢，有点潦草有点牵强甚至感觉是编剧编不下去了作出的结尾。
2019年有部短片《邻居的窗》，讲的就是你在看邻居，其实邻居也在看你。当然一切类似的题材都逃不过希区柯克的《后窗》。
好处是对于Charcot内部和当时精神病治疗手段的呈现，非常鲜明和仔细地拍出了当时种种精神治疗史上的荒唐和黑暗，男性凝视下的“疯女人”自古有之且绵延至今，这是压迫和驯化的极端表现之一。但同样的，本片元素也未免塞得太多太杂了，灵异削弱了现实，对男权进行背景化处理的结果就是过于脸谱，虽充满力度，但控诉内容的表现则有些浅白，剧本再打磨一下会更好吧。
前面做的很好啊，中间那个又长又欲的性爱场面毫无意义，悬疑线掉到最后其实都能猜出来的，比想象中的好一点吧
希区柯克真的是养活了多少人啊！也是可以看出这导演对两性关系的开放视角。现在想来对两性关系的探讨可能才是它真正的内涵。
寓言诗电影，青涩外壳，恐怖内核……结局往复 有点电锯惊魂那种无休止的感觉
“当你凝望深渊，深渊亦在凝望着你”（sex场面挺多的，但也是为了剧情需要）
很容易明白这个古典故事在当代的意义和指涉，但超现实元素的重要性又在一直消解这种感觉。
四星，故事三星，结尾反转给半星，女主身材和牺牲给半星，不过最后的复仇不合理，女主怎么给他们的酒下药的？
偷窥对面专业的摄影师？看到对面是摄影师第一反应不是买窗帘？结尾实在没有必要。
最后的反转就感觉有点多余，刘承羽和张雨绮长得太像了吧，出戏了。
前面一度弄得很巧合就为了连上后面生硬的反转，中间太潦草了，收尾可以，大家都是恶人大家都没有好下场
3.5⭐，大部分在预料之中，所以没有太大惊喜
2021年了，讲的是上世纪的惨事，以为能有什么新意，却还是没能超越时代。护士长说她自由了，所以不跟女主一起逃，我真的惊掉下巴。请问她哪里自由了呢？精神上？还是身体上？导演哪里来的自信让护士长自觉自愿被囚禁呀？还有医院里所有的女人，都没有被解放。双女主的暧昧，闹着玩似的。整个电影都浮于表面，你拍不出来反抗就别拍了，一女导演，拍qj镜头倒是挺带劲儿的，真无语哈。
其实是女主又当又立的戏码罢了
女主身材是真的顶，人是真的“坏”。
所以给别人饮料里下毒的人也会喝陌生人送的酒？
