Leave your thoughts about The Sheepman.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe always reliable Glenn Ford is perfect for the part, but the film is stolen by the shifty W.C. Fields windbag misanthropic comic character portrayal by Edgar Buchanan. |
| User Reviewhorse cThursday, July 5, 2012 (1958) The Sheepman WESTERN Glenn Ford stars as Jason whose labelled as "The Sheepman" whose trying to make attempts to make a living out in a strictly cattle town and of course expecting some very strong opposition. The movie also stars Shirley MacLaine and Leslie Nielson(The Naked Gun). It's well photographed, characters are well developed and is well technocolored. 3 out of 4 |
| User ReviewKevin TThis is a great comedy western which rarely appears on TV these days. It features Glenn Ford who was a leading box office star of the period at the peak of his powers. The first reel is one of the funniest that you will see in a Western outside of Blazing Saddles. Ford plays Jason Sweet a gun toting cowboy who arrives in a cattle town with a herd of sheep that he has won in a game of poker. He soon realises that the town is run by an old buddy of his (a very young Leslie Nielsen) who was responsible for the murder of Sweet's wife several years before and who plans to run the Sheepman out of town. The scene is set for a gunfight showdown. The film features a host of hollywood character actors of the period including Edgar Buchanan playing the "cracker barrel philisopher" as Sweet describes him. If you throw in a very glamorous Shirley MacLaine as the leading lady you have all the ingredients for a fun 90 minutes. |
| User ReviewNick GI went through that whole movie without realizing that was Leslie Nielsen. I spent all that time instead trying to figure out where I recognized Glenn Ford from. It wasn't until a week or two later that I realized he's the guy from the Slap a Bitch demotivator :D |
| User ReviewOrlok WAn exciting picture, solidly based on one of the fiercest Western issues--George Marshall--Glenn Ford Classic; One Hilarious Western Satire!! |
| User ReviewGreg WSheep rancher Glenn Ford feuds with evil cattle rancher Leslie Nielsen. Shirley MacLaine is the cowgirl love interest they're also battling over, in this rather uneven mix of western action and bits of comedy. There's a good supporting cast of western regulars, including Slim Pickens, Edgar Buchanan and Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez, which also helps. It's not the greatest western, but the cast makes it worth watching, particularly seeing Ford do a little bit of comedy. |
| User ReviewMarilee AShirley MacLaine steals the show as Dell, a Jean's & Cowboy Boots wearing, Annie Oakley-esque Gunslinging woman who also is as comfortable in a frilly gown. She has her choice of her two rival leading men, Glenn Ford as Jason Sweet, the unwelcome Sheepman, & Leslie Nielsen as Col.Bedford, the towns most prominent Cattle Hearder.The Overbearing Jason Sweet sets up his herd of Sheep to graze in Cattle Country, that doesn't set well with the town, who is under the influence of Col.Bedford, & they trick him & drive him out of town on the rails, but Sweet comes back.Hired gunman are brought in, & there is a Gunfight & Dell & an Old Man are his only help, but Sweet isn't a man you can get rid of, & he gets the girl too.Fairly predictable, but entertaining. |
| User ReviewPaul DWatching Leslie Nielsen in a straight role is always interesting, it's Glenn Ford who provides the few comedy moments in this better than average, although routine western. |
