He Can't Stop Doing It (German: Er kann's nicht lassen) is a 1962 West German mystery film directed by Axel von Ambesser and starring Heinz Rühmann, Rudolf Forster and Grit Boettcher.[1] It was based on the Father Brown stories by G. K. Chesterton, Rühmann reprising his role from the 1960 film The Black Sheep. It is part in the post-war tradition of German krimi films, similar to the ongoing series of Edgar Wallace adaptations.
The film's sets were designed by the art directors Rolf Zehetbauer and Herbert Strabel.
