The Black Sheep (1968 film)

The Black Sheep is a 1968 British comedy film directed by Robert Hartford-Davis. It stars Jack Watling, Anna Gaël, and Vladek Sheybal. The film revolves around a young man, played by Watling, who inherits a somewhat disreputable family pub and finds himself embroiled in a series of misadventures involving smugglers and other dubious characters. Often characterized as a lighthearted crime caper, The Black Sheep features slapstick humor and a generally farcical tone. While not a major critical success, it is remembered as a representative example of British B-movie cinema of the era. The film's plot centers on mistaken identity and the protagonist's attempts to navigate the criminal underworld he inadvertently becomes a part of.
