But easygoing Jason Sweet won a trainload of sheep in a poker game and he aims to graze them. And rolling, green Powder Valley looks like the perfect place. In the year he was named the top male box-office draw, Glenn Ford strapped on his sidearm and his sense of humor to portray Jason. George Marshall, who showed how the West was fun in Destry Rides Again, directs Ford, Shirley MacLaine, Leslie Nielsen (as the villain) and more familiar talents in a tale that combines genre sendups with showdown heroics. The Sheepman: Smile when you say that, pardner! Review: Glenn Ford Sparkles - The Sheepman I recall seeing the original eons ago at a theater. Glenn Ford, Shirley MacLaine, Leslie Nielsen, Mickey Shaughnessy, Edgar Buchanan, Pernell Roberts, Slim Pickens, what more could one ask of a cast for a western? Up until Warner Brother's decided to publish its long list of winning films, The Sheepman was only available in a European Format which if it worked at all on a USA DVD player would not be of the best quality Powder Valley is a cattle town, with a capital C. In rides Jason Sweet (Ford) on the train, with an attitude and a load of sheep quickly to follow. However, his decision to run a herd of sheep in cattle country IS a bit more than just an attitude in a town like Powder Valley. Just to make sure his point is clear enough, Sweet goes far out of his way to provoke everyone in town, including a young and foxy Dale (Shirley MacLaine at the height of her beauty). The cattle crowd led by Colonel Stephen Bedford and Dale's father, both large cattle holders which are not very happy about Sweet's idea of driving sheep into the valley. Sweet pushes every button he can to let everyone know he has not come to town to win a popularity contest, (noted by Buchanan's character). All of Sweet's moves are accomplished with a sharp supply of acidic, sarcastic, humor, including his picking a fight with Shaughnessy's character. He then displays an incredible quick draw and shoot trick with sardonically humorous aplomb letting all and sundry know of his deadly intentions. Mickey Shaughnessy, is perfect with his usual bumbling, not so-bright characterization of a tough guy, who is a bit slow on the uptake. Leslie Nielsen as the Colonel, shows his often dark side, created long before his buffoonish character's in later life. Conversely Buchanan, sheds his sometimes devious criminal side with humor and loyalty. Pickens is the sheriff who goes off fishing at the slightest hint of legal trouble and the whole cast is excellent. Turns out the Colonel, who Sweet knows as Johnny, is an old acquaintance. Johnny/The Colonel, has Sweet hijacked to a meeting and it becomes apparent that Sweet is on some sort of vengeance crusade against the Colonel, or one of his associates. There are a few other twists and turns, among which that Sweet and Dale have eyes for each other despite her engagement to the Colonel, so Sweet tells her that he is after the man who, seven years before, killed Sweet's fiancee'. The Colonel, it is soon discovered, has been indulging in secret land grabbing of the open ranges, which leads to Dale breaking off her engagement and siding in with Sweet and her father to pull away from support of the Colonel. Overall, it is one of Ford's best comedic westerns, wise cracking and slugging and shooting his way along to the climax, a series of gunfights, one in which he is up against impossible odds facing the man who killed his fiancee'. I will say no more either about the plot nor the ending, because I do not want to spoil the final resolutions for you. The DVD was fine and crisp, clear and without hitches. I only found one problem with the film, and that was the price of $26.95 or $24.95 at desertcart. One can buy an album of similar films for the same price or a bit more. I bought my copy for $18.99 through an desertcart Associate. Warner and some others in this era of depression/inflation are pushing the DVD price envelope. There are few movies I would pay more than $7.50 for and this was one of them. As for content, for its genre' I give it 5 stars.

It is different than a John Wayne or Clint Eastwood western, I like both, they each have their own style and Glenn has his own. It's a little more laid back but is enjoyable. Glenn Ford does a good job in the movie. Leslie Nielsen did a good job with his serious role. Edgar Buchanan (Who? - Uncle Joe from Petticoat Junction) also has a decent part and does a good job. An enjoyable movie and I would recommend it. Grab a pop, some chips and sit back and enjoy. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/11326103-the-sheepman](https://www.desertcart.de/products/11326103-the-sheepman) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
