He can't stop it (alternative title Pater Brown - He can't stop it ) is the sequel to the successful crime film The Black Sheep .
action
Father Brown can't stop himself, he was specially transferred by the bishop to the quiet island community of Abbotts Rock so that he could no longer interfere in criminal cases and thus no longer appear on the front pages of the newspapers. Out of curiosity, he pursues a cat who leads him to an unknown cellar to a van Dyck painting . It is stolen from the church and very skillfully retrieved and secured by Father Brown, and the heavy boys are asked to confess. Nevertheless, this leads to a complaint to the bishop on the part of Inspector O'Connally because he does not receive any information about the perpetrators from the father due to the confessional secret, and again extreme headlines, which the bishop does not like at all. He has him transferred again, this time to Darroway Township, where the last crime took place six years ago - a stolen golf ball. But already on his arrival he has to settle a dispute between Lord Bannister and Lord Darroway. He learns of a curse on the lords of Darroway. But he does not believe in it and suspects murders behind the two alleged accidents. His further research led him to Dublin, where he found a gang of murderers and drug smugglers.
Nevertheless, he is finally brought to the Central African Republic so that no new case overtakes him.
criticism
“Heavy sequel to Chesterton's detective story“ The Black Sheep ”. Father Brown, first transferred by the bishop to a small island, then to a remote village, this time clears up a painting theft and then resolves an inheritance, drug and murder affair. "
"For the second time after" The Black Sheep "(1960), Heinz Rühmann played the priest with criminal instinct based on a model by GK Chesterton. Here, too, the ingredients are right - so it is up to the viewer whether he sees 'He can't stop' as a not very original copy or an entertaining continuation of the first part. "
“Nothing remains of the cleverness of the clergyman with a criminal disposition. From 16 possible, but without recommendation. "
Others
- Gilbert Keith Chesterton's stories about Father Brown served as the basis for the film.
- The film premiered on October 19, 1962.
- The beginning of the film takes place on the island of Abbots Rock, but was actually shot on the Irish peninsula Howth Head 10 km north of Dublin .
- Among other things, Anif Castle near Salzburg served as a film set.
- The name Darroway does not exist. It can be read on the street sign Darroway 25 (miles) in the film when Bruce Payne and bride first appear. Since Irish place-name signs are bilingual, the sign also shows the - here pseudo-irish - name DOIRROWIJH : In Irish there is no "W", no double letters, the vowel sequence over the syllables does not correspond to Irish syntax. There is the first part of the name Darrow , it is derived from Dara [gh] (oak).
- A third film, entitled The Adventures of Cardinal Braun (1968, in color), also with Heinz Rühmann , is often cited with the two black and white films, but has nothing in common with the Pater Brown stories after Chesterton.
