Broken LullabyWracked with guilt after killing an adversary on the battlefield of WWI, a French musician travels to Germany to find the dead man's family.
Taken in by the family - headed by Lionel Barrymore - he feels unable to reveal his secret.
One of Lubitsch's very few dramatic talkies, this rarely screened anti-war statement is "a nakedly sincere ode to the power of sympathy" (Time Out).
Retitled The Man I Killed, this intermittently sentimental and compassionate ode to brotherhood is one of Lubitsch's most curious and atypical works.
With ZaSu Pitts.
