Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

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!

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 ****

As a young teen, I watched all of the " Tammy " movies that came on TV. It did not matter if the part was being played by Sandra Dee or Debbie Reynolds. I just couldn't wait to see what Tammy had to say next or how she was going to say it, to see the reaction on other faces and how they take it. I could really relate to this movie being from Alabama. I understood some of the sayings from her grandfather that the people in the movie didn't. I dreamed of being on a river boat having the adventures that Tammy had and I would sit with Tammy and listen to her stories. Sandra Dee is captivating, a wonderful actress, plays a loving friend role and is just so funny especially when she is trying to be so serious. I think everyone should see it, especially those in the medical profession.

Being from the south, I'm insulted by the portrayal of Tammy's speech. No one--I repeat--no one from the south has, does, or ever will speak that way. I've known some very backwoods people in my time, and even they did not speak in the way that the Tammy character does in this movie. It makes no sense and is very unrealistic. It's too bad that the writers didn't spend a single day in Mississippi to see how people from that state actually talk. While the plot is just as implausible as well, there are some slightly refreshing and entertaining aspects to this movie. It cannot, however, come even close to being compared to the original--Tammy and the Bachelor, a much classier movie.
