As Seen On Screen

As Seen on Screen offers readers a chance to see film reviews for the everyman, without all of the clutter and nonsense fed to the average filmgoer. Plain, straitforward, to the point. That's our goal. We offer a diverse catalogue of which to choose from, from silent comedies to modern superhero films. Final note: this is a family friendly blog. We only review films rated G through PG-13, plus the unrated films of yesteryear. So if this sounds like your cup of tea, pull up a crumpet and enjoy. Thanks for your support!

     The Sheepman
1958  NR  WESTERN  1h 25min
CAST— Glenn Ford, Shirley MacLaine, Leslie Nielsen, Mickey Shaughnessy, Edgar Buchanan
MUSIC— Jeff Alexander  DIRECTOR— George Marshall

     Cast your vote: cattle vs. sheep. Glenn Ford plays a stranger in town with an even stranger idea: he plans to raise a flock of sheep in cattle country, using public range to do so. At first he’s laughed at; then he’s shot at. He’s taken to meet the local mover and shaker, played by Leslie Nielsen; as serendipity would have it Ford and Nielsen have a past, one that isn’t as squeaky clean as Nielsen would like to have known. Nielsen soon begins to use his minions rather forcefully to “persuade” Ford to take his flocks elsewhere. But Ford is not a man who scares easily; but when he gets riled, watch out. Often slow moving with bland humor thrown into the mix, though the cast is top notch.
OUR RATING— **
