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.
作品很西部，比较复古，确实在流行炫技立新的当下，这样的作品并不多见。
西部片只要说比利小子，就像是武术片讲黄飞鸿一样，这是热评的大神说的，一了解。这个改编90几次的故事原型，在本片，是个老套的枭雄迟暮的故事，终究尘归尘土归土，其子踏上新的一轮生活。
别说 我还真挺喜欢的...
比利小子的后传，情节渲染的不错，寥寥几个人物刻画得都很传神，近年来最好的西部片之一，在武侠、西部片相继衰落的今天，能有这样的佳作，属实不易，虽然比不上黄金年代的巨作，但也绝不是乏善可陈。
黑警柯里与萨姆匪徒一起合伙打劫银行，萨姆欲杀柯里灭口时，柯里抢走了钱袋……
即便老了，比利还是那个令人闻风丧胆的比利小子。
虽然是故事比较简单，场景也比较单调的一部西部片，但拍的还不错。这个年老单薄的农夫就是江湖传说的比利小子，在关键时刻拔枪射击，以一当十干脆利落。情节最后的反转也让他失去了生命，救了不该救的人，双方原来都不是好人。最后，本不甘于平淡的小儿子也持枪跨马，走出小屋，融入了西部苍茫的天地。
群枪战开头的时候帅毙了！灵活的小交叉步+压低的左轮手枪，令人着迷！！！（看到这里我又联系到自己喜欢一个人完全不在意外貌这件事了
亨利的老婆一定非常美丽，才能生出这么漂亮的孩子。虽然亨利很厉害，但是孩子也没有好好教育一下，不知道他之后能不能生存下去。
优秀的西部片太少了！节奏虽缓慢，导演见功底。情节虽简单，反转够给力。演技过硬，剧本扎实！
荒野伤者携巨款，父子救人招祸端。
七分，天才牛仔退隐江湖与世无争善心萌动卷入恩怨阴沟翻船。
一段命中注定的相遇，再最后一次闪光过后，结束了老牛仔罪恶的一生，年轻的牛二代踏上通往现代的征程。
老派西部风格就是话从不表达完整但枪法一定要准
永远不要惹一个真正的杀手，即使枭雄迟暮。如同克林特伊斯特伍德的《不可饶恕》，当挤压的一切最终爆发的那一刻，情节也被推到了高潮，最后的反转颇为亮眼，随之亨利的死也是对其的自我救赎，很棒的作品。
如今越来越少的西部片就会越来越突出它特有的格调
人物三两个，个个都不同，男主老亨利是通过儿子的日常疑问与闯入歹徒的撒谎陪衬出来的，但仍然是用笔极简，后劲深长；电影叙事徐徐展开，挖掘出了一个隐没西部民间十多年的传奇。
Billy the Kid! 有传统西部片的风骨～
节奏太喜欢了 特别棒的沉默寡言的柔情故事男的西部Home Defense的故事
坏人总是死于话多,还以为话痨匪徒头子有多大能耐玩猫捉老鼠游戏呢,n次浪费大好优势局面,结果第一枪就被干倒了,装逼失败啊,照例给西部题材加一星
