Teen-aged girls flocked to Tammy Tell Me True in 1961, anxious to see what life had in store for their favorite houseboat-living sweetheart. It's hard to imagine modern teens having much of an interest in this sweet but rather dull romance, although their younger sisters might eat a lot of it up. Tammy is a wholesome little film, and its sincere story features some very nice people having to sort out their various entanglements before getting to a happy ending. If only the screenplay had a little more originality, a dash more wit, or if the direction were more inventive rather than merely serviceable. If only also the comic bits worked better; only the can't-miss baby-sitting episode really scores. The other comic bits are humorous, but not really funny. Fortunately, Tammy has Sandra Dee. Not quite as good an actress as Debbie Reynolds in the original, Dee is nonetheless a very appealing personality, and she knows how to make her scenes land with the desired impact, even when the script gives her little help. She's spunky and pert and has an essential sincerity that is vital to the project's success. Beulah Bondi is also on hand to provide some professional savvy in a large supporting role, and Cecil Kellaway and Edgar Buchanan turn in some nice turns along the way as well. Not a bad film, Tammy just isn't particularly exciting.
