'The Black Sheep' is a 1960 German krimi mystery film directed by Helmut Ashley and starring Heinz Rhmann, Karl Schnbck and Maria Sebaldt. It is loosely based on the 'Father Brown' stories by G. K. Chesterton.[https://web.archive.org/web/20090207040837/http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/340010 BFI.org] Father Brown manages to demonstrate the innocence of a man accused of murder by finding the real culprit.
