Product Description

Tammy and the Bachelor: Academy Award nominee Debbie Reynolds stars in this romantic comedy, the first feature in the delightful Tammy series. Meet young Tammy, a homespun Mississippi gal who, in the course of her first extraordinary adventure, teaches a sophisticated bachelor (Leslie Nielsen) about love, an uptight Southern town about fun, and a modern family about happiness. Tammy Tell Me True: The adventures of Tammy continue in college, where the worldly-wise small-town gal helps a broken-hearted artist paint a happy future, teaches a haughty heiress that the Golden Rule is more precious than gold, and finds true love with a shy, handsome young professor. Golden Globe winner Sandra Dee proves that Tammy is more than just another fish out of water in this charming and touching comedy. Tammy and the Doctor: Sandra Dee returns as the irrepressible Tammy in the enchanting third feature. It’s fun at a fever pitch as Tammy turns “nurse” in Los Angeles, hilariously turning a hospital upside down, treating patients with homemade brews and potions and, of course, falling in mad love with a handsome young surgeon (Peter Fonda).

What a delight it is to see the Debbie Reynolds charmer TAMMY AND THE BACHELOR finally on DVD, packaged with the two sequels starring Sandra Dee (TAMMY TELL ME TRUE and TAMMY AND THE DOCTOR).

While Sandra Dee made the character of Tammy one of her most fondly-remembered, it's Debbie Reynolds who truly owns the role. In the classic original TAMMY AND THE BACHELOR (filmed in 1957 and based on the book by Mrs Cid Ricketts Sumner), we first meet Tambrey "Tammy" Tyree, the backwoods girl who falls in love with handsome Peter Brent (Leslie Nielsen) after his plane crashes near her home. When her grandfather is arrested for bootlegging, cow-eyed Tammy follows Peter back to his family estate, where her rustic, homespun values get her into a mess of trouble. The movie is best-known for it's Academy Award-nominated song ("Tammy") written by Jay Livingston, sung over the main titles by the Ames Brothers, and later reprised in the film itself by Debbie Reynolds. The cast also boasts Mildred Natwick, Fay Wray, Walter Brennan and Mala Powers.

TAMMY TELL ME TRUE was released a few years later in 1961. With Debbie Reynolds unable to reprise the role, Universal contract starlet Sandra Dee took over for the continuing adventures of Tammy. Wanting to experience a proper education, Tammy takes her houseboat down the river and enrols at Seminola College. There, she warms the heart of crusty widow Mrs Annie Call (Beulah Bondi) and falls head over heels for teacher Mr Freeman (John Gavin). Look closely for Dee's "Imitation of Life" costar Juanita Moore; plus Julia Meade and Virginia Grey.

Finally in TAMMY AND THE DOCTOR (1963), Sandra Dee returns as Tammy, with her object of affection (the doctor of the title) played by an up-and-coming Peter Fonda. When Mrs Call becomes seriously ill, Tammy accompanies her interstate to a large Los Angeles hospital. As per usual, Tammy's plain-speaking ways get her into all sorts of strife; as she finds herself falling for handsome intern Mark Cheswick (Peter Fonda). A dubbed Sandra Dee also gets to recreate the original "Tammy" title song in this movie. Co-starring Macdonald Carey, Margaret Lindsay, Reginald Owen and Alice Pearce.

This is a top value DVD collection. TAMMY AND THE BACHELOR is presented in it's original CinemaScope ratio with splendid colour. The two sequels are located on the second disc (both discs are dual-layer format). Extra features are limited to original trailers for "Bachelor" and "Doctor".

This has been a great year for Ross Hunter on DVD. In addition to the Lana Turner melodrama double feature, Universal now gives us three comedies for a low price in this set. All three "Tammy" films made from 1957-63 are included. If you are looking for some family entertainment or an evening of nostalgia, this set is for you.

Taken chronologically, the first film "Tammy and the Bachelor" was released in 1957. Producer Hunter borrowed Debbie Reynolds, who was under contract to MGM, to play Tammy Tyree (short for Tambey which means immortal). This was a big A-budget film in Technicolor and CinemaScope. I am sure he knew that if he didn't have a "Tammy", he didn't have a movie.

Reynolds is a delight as the truth-telling, blunt river girl who finds herself sharing lodgings with the Brent family. Leslie Nielson is the very handsome pilot who crashes a plane in a swamp and is rescued by Tammy and her grandfather (Walter Brennan). A lot of viewers seem to remember that the Brents were rich, but they actually didn't have much money. Son Peter (the "Bachelor" of the title) was trying to find a way to make the land pay for itself. The only income the family had was from the tourist trade who visited their mansion each year. When Grandpa is thrown in jail by the revenuers, Tammy hitchhikes with her goat Nanny to BrentWood.

Most of the story is taken up with fish out of water scenes, but this is the type of comedy that Reynolds excels in. The supporting cast is excellent, with fine turns by Fay Wray, Mildred Natwick, Sidney Blackmer, Phil Ober, and Mala Powers.

Reynolds especially impresses in a sincere scene at the tourist gathering where she "improvises" a story about the dress she is wearing and her arrival at the house in the previous century. The viewer really can't help but be charmed by her. She also sings the title song which became a big record hit for her. In fact, the film was doing only ordinary business until Reynolds recording began to get a lot of radio play. Universal-International put it back into several hundred theaters and drive-ins and made a LOT of money.

"Tammy and the Bachelor" on DVD in widescreen has great color. Directed by Joseph Pevney with some nice on location photography, it clocks in at a brisk 89 minutes. The disk it is on includes the original trailer and English SDH and French subtitles. Audiences loved this movie and continue to do so. First week sales of the DVD in stores and online was fantastic.

The second and third films in the series are one disk. "Tammy Tell Me True" was released in 1961 and starred Ross Hunter discovery Sandra Dee as Tammy. Dee was certainly not the actress that Reynolds was, but she does bring a lovely charm to the role. The script was by Oscar Brodney (who wrote all of the films), and it was directed by Harry Keller. It was released in a different widescreen process and you will get bigger image on your screen with both the movies on this disk. Both films also have the SDH and French subtitle options.

Taking up where "Bachelor" left off, Tammy is with the Brents. Pete has gone off the agriculture college, and Tammy is left waiting at Brentwood. With typical Tyree pluck, she decides she needs to get some education and takes the Effie B shanty boat down the Mississippi River to attend Seminola College as a "special student."

The Dean of Women, Miss Jenks (played by Virginia Grey, a friend of producer Hunter) recognizes Tammy's innate humanity and welcomes her to sit in on classes in current events and public speaking. The latter is taught by instructor Tom Freeman. He and Tammy met earlier in the day by a tree in the park.

Tammy is also sent to be a companion to Mrs. Annie Call (Beulah Bondi). Mrs. Call is a bitter, mean old woman - as she says herself. Her niece misunderstands Tammy's background and sends her away. When Tammy sneaks back into the backyard and has a heart to heart talk with her, Mrs. Call hatches a plan. She runs away to the Effie B to relive her childhood times of life on the river.

There are complications. Tammy isn't accepted by the others in school, she gets a couple of babysitting jobs, and she is even eventually accused of kidnapping and robbery. Don't worry it all works out in the end.

The supporting cast here is just as interesting as in the previous film. In addition to Grey and Bondi, we have Gigi Perreau (former child star), Taffy Paul (who would become Stephanie Powers), Charles Drake, Hayden Rorke, Billy Mumy, Edgar Buchanan, and Juanita Moore. We also see some familiar exteriors on the Universal backlot including the house that would belong to the Munsters and the exterior of the house that the Kettles won and lived in for several entries in that movie series.

Dee isn't quite as lucky in the leading man department here. She is stuck with John Gavin, who is more handsome than Leslie Nielson to be sure, but just can't act. The scene where he is to laugh at things Tammy says is so forced, it is embarrassing to watch. He does say the same line that Nielson says to Reynolds: "If I'm laughing at you, it's with pure delight." And that isn't said with much conviction either.

No trailer is included with "Tammy Tell Me True", but it does have the lovely original score by Percy Faith, one of his few original film scores. There is a title song that serves the purpose, but the original by Ray Livingston and Jay Evans is missed. There is no other credit for the slight singing performance, so until otherwise informed, we have to assume the Dee did her own singing here. This film is the longest of the trio at 97 minutes and is directed by Harry Keller.

The final theatrical feature here is "Tammy and the Doctor" released in 1963 At least we get a trailer with this film, though it certainly isn't in very good shape.

Dee suffers from a poor choice of leading man here, too. One would think that Peter Fonda would be able to express some kind of emotion or at least some charisma on the screen. Here in his debut, he is a zero. His delivery of the line "If I'm laughing, it's with pure delight" is even worse than Gavin's. And Dee is getting a bit old to play the innocent wide eyed Tammy. Producer Hunter must have decided that they had to get Tammy out of the back woods and off the river. So with Bondi recreating her Mrs. Call role and needing heart surgery, she and Tammy are uprooted and transferred to Los Angeles.

As quickly as she was taken into college, Tammy is employed by the hospital. She creates several funny incidents, but she is always put back to mopping floors (this gag wears out its welcome after the fourth time). She becomes enamored of a young intern (Fonda) and decides she doesn't love Tom Warren (Gavin) after all and sets her cap for young Dr. Mark Cheswick. Tammy is nothing if not fickle.

The supporting cast again is excellent with MacDonald Carey (homely as he is), Margaret Lindsey, Alice Pearce (the original "Bewtiched" Gladys Kravitz), Reginald Owen, and Adam West (just before becoming Batman on television). The real treat for trivia and movie fans in the cast is Joan Marshall. Who?? Well as Joan Arless she played the double male/female leading role in "Homicidal." Here she is a lovely tall redhead, and it's fun to see her as she really looks. Marshall was also originally cast as Lily Munster, but was replaced by Yvonne DeCarlo for the subsequent series.

Dee sings the original title tune, although I am not sure that is truly her voice. "Tammy and the Doctor" has the happy ending you expect. And it is fun. It runs 88 minutes and Keller once again takes the helm.

Of the three films,this is the only one with a singular credit by writer Brodney. The others credit the original novels by Cid Rickets Sumner (Tammy Out of Time and Tammy Tell Me True.) Sumner's story did not have a Tammy ending, she was murdered by her grandson.

All of the movies in this collection are enjoyable, if you are in the right mood, or if you just like the stars. Certainly you can see the progression from original project, to star vehicle, to assembly line feature making as you go along. It's a good history lesson in how Universal Studios was run and the product it was turning out. The only "Tammy" title missing is "Tammy and the Millionaire" which was actually a few episodes of a short-lived television series starring Debbie Watson edited together to make a poor feature film.

At the low suggested retail price, you get a lot of entertainment value. And you just might laugh a time or two. Tambey - it means "immortal" you know!

I always enjoy films as In the era that they were made. That way, one is not disappointed. I am a film collector, and I remember these series in the Cinema at the time. The first one, Tammy and the Bachelor, is, ( like other series of films ) the best. Usually sequels are made to make money on the first one if it is successful. Tammy and the Bachelor has a strong cast, Debbie Reynolds and Leslie Nielson was veteran's from MGM. It also had an excellent music score by an underrated Universal composer Frank Skinner, which carried the film along.
Tammy Tell Me True with Sandra Dee, and John Gavin and, if you look in the class room sequences, up and coming actors at Universal at that time. Tammy and the Doctor, are strong with veterans from the 1930's and 1940's with again, Sandra Dee, and a young Peter Fonda, who never quite compared as an actor to his famous father. These last two films are still nice to watch, and completes a great triple viewing.
