    • Quotes

      Tambey 'Tammy' Tyree: [reciting to party guests] I come from Virginie, Sir / I've been walkin' all the way alongside the wagon, ox-drawn / I've been sleepin' on the ground by night and walkin' all the day / I've come to this great house to sell fresh eggs I'm totin'em in my bonnet.

      Peter Brent: Oh, why don't you come in. We have need of eggs.

      Tambey 'Tammy' Tyree: It will pleasure me, Sir, for sure.

      Party Guest: That's a lovely gown that you're wearing.

      Tambey 'Tammy' Tyree: It was made in Virginie / My mammy sewed it for me with a needle and fine thread. / She made it strong for lastin' because it was a far piece to come.

      Party Guest: I like to hear about that.

    6/10
    Not as unctuous as you might remember...
    Debbie Reynolds plays a 17-year-old girl from the bayou who goes to stay with a friendly pilot (Leslie Nielsen) and his society folks after her grandfather gets thrown into jail. Corny, yet also surprisingly sensitive growing-pains comedy-drama is silly and trite only in retrospect. The film treats its protagonist and her emotions quite sympathetically and the film is sweet without being nauseating. Good support from Walter Brennan, Fay Wray, and the always fun Mildred Natwick. Followed by two sequels in 1961 and 1963, with Sandra Dee taking over the role of Tammy, as well as a failed mid-'60s television series. **1/2 from ****
