Although some modern audiences may dismiss it as corny, Tammy and the Bachelor is actually quite an entertaining little romantic teen comedy. Yes, times have changed greatly since 1957, and Tammy is undeniably dated, sometimes laughably so. It's not just the language, references, and concerns that are dated, either; the whole tone of the film is so naïve that it's a bit alien. Yet there's so much sweetness and innocence to the project that most viewers will be happy to chuckle at rather than laugh derisively at the dated quality. A great deal of credit for Tammy's success must go to Debbie Reynolds, whose perkiness and charm are almost irresistible. Her warbling of the title tune is a winner, of course, but the diminutive star doesn't miss a beat anywhere in the film, holding together even the weakest passages with the warmth of her smile. Leslie Nielsen works nicely opposite her, and there's fine support from Walter Brennan and Fay Wray. Tammy is a trifle, but it's an enjoyable one.
