moonspinner55 Passable romantic comedy, the third of the "Tammy" movies (and the second to feature Sandra Dee in the lead) picks up where 1961's mediocre "Tammy Tell Me True" left off. Enrolled at a southern college on special scholarship, Tammy takes time away from her schoolin' to care for Mrs. Call, her rich, elderly houseboat guest, who has been felled by a heart condition. Mrs. Call is flown to Los Angeles for treatment, with Tammy in tow for moral support. Targeted at a specific audience of a certain generation--teenage girls circa 1963--the movie wasn't meant to last the ages, but one can't help wondering if even young ladies of the early '60s didn't find this scenario a little cloying. As Tammy's latest love-interest, Peter Fonda makes like a skinny hole in the screen, while Dee occasionally overcompensates for her supposed youth with shrill exclamations and exaggerated reactions. Dee was already too mature at this point to be convincing as the kind of pony-tailed lass who's confused by the purpose of a tea spoon versus a soup spoon, and yet her juvenile innocence, southern-fried sayings and naïve misunderstandings give the picture whatever laughs it has. There's an amusing 'medicinal weed' joke that is very clever, and Tammy's mixing up of the newborn babies' identification bracelets in the maternity ward results in the movie's funniest sight gag. ** from ****

Kesha Thurman I am also a teenager and have deeply enjoyed this movie. Being from Mississippi Myself, I feel akin to her in her many plights, with dealing with folks that find many southerners to be very "funny peculiar"!! Anyway I know one thing i really enjoyed the Tammy in love song, it was so romantic how he was right there listening. Oh, I just really love this movie!!!!! I really like how Tammy takes God with her where ever she goes and that she isn't afraid to talk about him. Man, I kinda wish they still made movies like this, but with more African-Americans. Movies like this were just so innocent and didn't need all the hype and jive they need now.

verna55 This was the third in the so-so TAMMY series, and it is certainly the best. Sandra Dee is absolutely adorable in the title role, the cute country bumpkin who is forever performing a good deed, for someone else, that is. This time she goes off with a sick, eldery friend(the great character actress Beulah Bondi) to a big city hospital and gets a job in the place to be near her. While she inadvertantly turns the hospital upside down with her hilarious mishaps, our folksy heroine falls for a handsome young doctor(Peter Fonda in his film debut). No classic, but this is a warm, funny, and occasionally touching movie. Sandra Dee is an absolute joy to watch; this was her second and last turn as the TAMMY character, her first was TAMMY TELL ME TRUE(1961) which was a sequel to TAMMY AND THE BACHELOR(1957) starring Debbie Reynolds.

ivan-22 Not as beautiful as "Tammy Tell Me True", but even funnier.Tammy is an implausibly innocent country bumpkin who clashes with the modern world. She has derogatory things to say about Shakespeare, Mozart, Psychology, Colleges, modern art, sleeping pills, freeways, conformism, phoniness.Tammy: "You mean you been livin' with yourself all your life without ever knowing what you are???"Sandra Dee is brilliant in her role - and it is truly hers.Much of the movie's delight is in Tammy's ungrammatical speech. She says glorious things like "Be you gonna or be ya ain't" (Will you or won't you?). She asks a man "Bein't ya the dumb waiter?" and he sternly replies: "No, I be the chief of staff!"
