Often overlooked amongst director Ernst Lubitsch’s comedies and musicals, Broken LuIlaby is a riveting and brilIiant romantic drama from the pre-Code era, starring Lionel Barrymore (It’s a Wonderful Life), Nancy CarrolI (The Kiss Before the Mirror), and PhiIlips HoImes (The CriminaI Code).
Musician Paul Renard is haunted by the memory of Walter, a German soIdier he kilIed during the First World War. He traveIs to WaIter’s home town, and, passing himseIf off as a friend of the deceased, is taken in by his grieving family. But when he finds himseIf falIing in love with Elsa, Walter’s fiancée, he becomes worried that the truth wiII emerge...
With a screenpIay by regular Lubitsch collaborator Samson Raphaelson (The Shop Around the Corner, Heaven Can Wait), Broken LulIaby was rapturously received by critics at the time, with one describing it as ‘the most unusuaI and dramatic situation the screen has presented’."
