Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

bkoganbing Tammy And The Doctor was the big screen debut of Peter Fonda and back in his Easy Rider rebel days he referred to it as Tammy And The Schmuckface. I wonder know in his late 70s how Peter Fonda feels about the film?It was the last of the big screen Tammy films, she would go on to a short lived television series with Debbie Watson. Sandra Dee plays Tammy Tyree of the Mississippi Delta a southern fried version of the little miss fixit roles that Deanna Durbin also did for Universal Studios back in the day.In this film Beulah Bondi the rich old lady to whom Tammy has become attached is taken ill. Specialist Macdonald Carey is in from Los Angeles and he recommends that Bondi have open heart surgery which he will perform. Like every other man of all generations Carey gets taken with her and thinks she will be an asset in giving Bondi a proper attitude toward the surgery.So Tammy gets taken on at the big LA hospital and as she always does her naivete but also her strong common sense wins over everyone around her eventually. Nurse Alice Pearce becomes her best friend. But her real conquest is young doctor Peter Fonda who is a protégé of Carey's.Seeing her going off with Peter Fonda also makes me wonder what happened to Leslie Nielsen and John Gavin in the previous two Tammy films. Or if there were more Tammy films how many of the male sex she would have endeared herself to.One does wonder how Peter Fonda views the film today. For me it's pleasant easy to take entertainment. Tammy does kind of grow on you.

kz917-1 In the final movie in the Tammy trilogy Sandra Dee once again stars and calamities ensue. Tammy's houseboatmate Mrs. Call falls ill and needs an operation. Tammy tags along and gets a job at the hospital to be close by and keep Mrs. Call's spirits up. But of course due to Tammy's naive nature trouble follows wherever she goes and it's a wonder no one dies due to some of the mishaps. This time Tammy falls for a doctor played by Peter Fonda. Bonus points for spotting Adam West as a doctor!

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 ****

Kayla I am a teenager and with all the junk out on television today this comedy/romance was refreshing. There was no vulgar language of such, except for Mr. Tripp saying one word which is funnily commented after. It is brilliant and I enjoyed every moment of it right up the ending. The backward "stanty boat" girl, who lived "betwist here and Vicksburg" all her life. And has never flown in a plane before. So if you want to see a truly great film this is one of them! Watch all three of them. The three would be Tammy and the bachelor, Tammy be true, and Tammy and the doctor! They are all special in the own way. You can them on AMC sometimes.Kayla
