The Sheepman (1958) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more.
A spunky Western with a wry sense of humor, The Sheepman became a surprise hit in 1958, winning favor with audiences and critics alike. It's easy to see why - the unconventional heroine played by Shirley MacLaine (her best MGM role after Some Came Running, 1958), worked well opposite Glenn Ford.
Ford brings a trainload of sheep, which the town abhors, and Neilson uses the townfolk to harass and attack Ford. Shirley MacLaine is the fiancé of Neilson, who pretends to befriend Ford before participating in the ruse that runs him out of town, temporarily.
