best movie i've ever seen.
Admirable film.
A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
17 year old Tammy (Debbie Reynolds) is a tomboy from the deep Mississippi swamps. She and grandpa rescue airplane crash survivor Peter Brent (Leslie Nielsen). She is heartbroken when he recovers and returns to his fiancee Barbara. After grandpa's jailing for moonshine, she walks to stay at Pete's vast Natchez estate. Pete is experimenting on tomatoes to revive the estate. The Brents are preparing to host the Rebel Ball and tours of Brentwood Hall.It's old fashion like the theme song. The whole sensibility is old fashion. Reynolds is great doing the gosh darn thing although she's getting a little old to play the teenager. A younger Leslie Nielsen is playing a fine leading man. This is definitely traditional Hollywood.
I love all Tammy's movies. Someday I would like to own them. I think I am the youngest to ever love these movies at my age. My best one is Tammy and the Doctor. I would like to know if any one no where to buy her movies. Sandra Lee is a good Tammy but I think Debbie was just suite able for the role of Tammy. I am only 22 and I love old fashion movies.You might think I am a little weird but I love all old movies. My dad brought me up on these kinda of movies. I was wondering why all old movies had hardly any bad language in them like the movies know days have a ton of bad language in them you can't find one that doesn't. They are all great movies so you all should watch them over and over.
I really enjoy seeing this film...every time. You can't compare it to the subsequent Tammy films because this is so much better. Even though Tammy still comes across as a major league hick, Debbie Reynolds imbues her with such character that she seems to be a real person. No offense to Sandra Dee (and MUCH offense to Debbie Watson who was just plain HORRIBLE as Tammy), but they don't even come close to the original. I love hearing Debbie sing TAMMY'S IN LOVE...makes the young girl in me sigh! I also enjoy seeing Leslie Nielsen in a dramatic role (well, as dramatic as you can get in this type of a movie). He was quite the handsome man (not that he isn't now...but when I see him now I think of Frank Drebbin!) This is exactly what it purports to be...a sweet film.However, in comment to another's review, Tammy didn't meet her bachelor hitchhiking, did she? I thought she and her grandfather found him floating in the water after his plane crashed. **I just received the DVD of TAMMY AND THE BACHELOR and I was right. She and her grandfather did find him floating on a log after his plane crashed. She ended up at his house after her grandfather is taken to jail for making corn liquor.
I saw this picture, right after seeing "Bundle of Joy," thus hoping for Debbie Reynolds patented radiance to be evident in this film as was the case with the former film. She didn't disappoint me. No one but Debbie could have performed Tammy any better (the song and the character). As to Leslie Nielsen, well, I saw a completely different side to his acting ability that we are not used to today. His chemistry with Debbie was nearly perfect. This film is about a young lady who has to move from the Louisiana Bayou because her guardian is taken from her. She falls for the son of her hostess and there are problems; but the rest is for you to discover. If anyone ever liked Debbie in anything, this is a must see. If anyone wants a romantic comedy to enjoy, this is a good pick. What makes Debbie so wonderful in all her pictures, is that she is able to use her facial expressions so well. They make the movie. You'll watch just to see them. This, like "Singin' In the Rain," "Bundle of Joy," and "Two Weeks With Love," show them perfectly. They are all quintessential films to watch her expressions in. They are often subtle, but if you watch close enough, you'll see them. And they'll make you all giddy and warm inside.
