This Cute and Charming Movie Should Be On DVD! And The Other Tammy Movies Should Also Be On DVD!
Added 10/7/2005
I saw the original Tammy movie that starred Debbie Reynolds as Tammy and I loved that movie and Debbie Reynolds was great as Tammy the backwoods country girl who fell who was taken in by a wealthy family after her moonshiner grandpa was arrested and fell in love with the son of the family Pete played by Leslie Nielsen but I loved this remake too and I think Sandra Dee was absolutely adorable as Tammy who has moved in to the city and become a nurse and fell in love with a doctor played by Peter Fonda who was also very good. Yes it's a bummer that they turned Pete into a scmuck in this movie and had him dump Tammy and break her heart but I still liked this movie and I would like to see this and all of the other movies in the Tammy series to be put on DVD. Tammy and The Bachelor, Tammy Tell Me True, Tammy and The Millionaire. I habe never vseen Tammy In The Millionaire though but I do know that another actress besides Sandra Dee and Debbie Reynolds played Tammy in that one.

Sweet Old-Time Movie From About 40 Years Ago
Added 3/28/2005
This is one of the two best Tammy movies. It stars Sandra Dee and Peter Fonda, in his film debut. This movie has wonderful country charm and a look at hospitals, doctors & nurses as they existed in a simpler time 40 years ago.

The Second Best of the Tammy Movies
Added 12/28/2004
Debbie Reynolds was hard to follow up after her success as Tammy Tyree in "Tammy and the Bachelor." However, Sandra Dee had modest success as Tammy in "Tammy Tell Me True" and its sequel, "Tammy and the Doctor."
In this movie, Sandra Dee follows Mrs. Call (Beulah Bondi) as she travels to a big hospital in Los Angeles for heart valve surgery, far from her beloved Mississippi River home. Prior to leaving she encounters MacDonald Carey as famous heart surgeon Dr. Wayne Bentley. After arriving she encounters a soon-to-be famous Peter Fonda playing Dr. Mark Cheswick. Adam West, but a few years away from being TV's campiest Batman, plays Dr. Eric Hassler.
Once at the hospital, Tammy again charms the staff and the patients as she brings her home-spun ways into their lives, yet fumbling in a most Jerry Lewis way (which recalls "The Disorderly Orderly," though with a bit less slapstick). She also struggles with her love life, as she seems to do in every movie, and falls for handsome Dr. Cheswick.
The movie works in general. While there are a few places where I thought the gags were a bit overdone, in general most of them work. Also, I would have thought that Tammy could have learned to call doctors "doctor" instead of the much more archaic, and eventually annoying, "leeches." While some doctors may be financial leeches, only specialists actually use the little critters these days, and Tammy was bright enough to learn about many more complicated things, she could have learned to say "doctor" faster. Scriptwriters, like the rest of us, are not perfect.
In spite of the minor flaws, this movie is the second best of the first four Tammy movies, superior to its predecessor, "Tammy Tell Me True," and its successor, "Tammy and the Millionaire," based on the far inferior television series. The movie provides a lot of family oriented laughs with only a joke or two that may rise to any level of required explanation.

Tammy And The Doctor
Added 1/23/2002
I have this movie and I think it was a wonderful family movie. I like all the Tammy movies, but I think this is the best. She gets into a lot of trouble when she goes to the hospital with her friend.

Tammy Told True
Added 10/16/2001
Tammy and the Doctor is a delightful, lighthearted, very enjoyable movie. Sandra Dee gives a fine performance as Tammy, perhaps not as good as Debbie Reynolds, but still she gives life to the character. Unfortunately, the writers unnecesarily pilfered several of the lines from Tammy and the Bachelor, they could have easily have written new ones. Unfortunately also, Universal studios has not seen fit to issue Tammy Tell Me True, so the viewers are sometimes at a lost as to things that are being referred to in Tammy's past. Tammy and the Doctor is a sweet, gentle movie, a welcome diversion from the meaningless sex and gross violence that blankets the screens today.

A Great Movie!!!
Added 8/5/2009
My Mama told me about this great movie and how funny it was. So as a surprise I purchased it for a great price from Amazon. When it came we both stopped what we were doing and turned it on...and laughed and laughed.
What an interesting concept to train your husband like a pet! I also enjoyed how Chantel's parents were still so in love with each other. Eugene and Chantel made such a lovely couple and her clothes were so cute.
It reminded me of the Doris Day classic "that touch of mink" that I love and it is right up there in my collection of old comedies.
If only they could make movies like they used to!
I would recommend this movie to any classic movie buff

Romantic Comedy
Added 4/11/2009
Just how far will a couple go in the pursuit of love? Chantal Stacy(Sandra Dee) has just married a successful, talented phtographer Eugene Wright(Bobby Darin). On the advice of her mother, Chantal begins a regime to change her man into the perfect husband. However, he soon becomes aware of her female wiles and answers with some jealousy-baiting tactics of his own. You can see that this is the real battle of the sexes; but, in a funny and enterting manner.
