Wiki.

The Black Sheep (German: Das schwarze Schaf) is a 1960 German krimi mystery film directed by Helmut Ashley and starring Heinz Rühmann, Karl Schönböck and Maria Sebaldt. It is loosely based on the Father Brown stories by G. K. Chesterton. Father Brown manages to demonstrate the innocence of a man accused of murder by finding the real culprit. Rühmann reprised the role in He Can't Stop Doing It in 1962.

It was shot at the Bavaria Studios in Munich and on location in Ireland. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Hans Berthel and Robert Stratil.
