    Storyline

    Edit
    When Mrs. Call's heart condition acts up, Tammy tags along in the trip to Los Angeles when the old lady is getting her surgery. Since there are no guest quarters in the hospital, Tammy gets a job in the hospital as a nurse's assistant. Peter Fonda plays Tammy's love interest, Dr. Mark Cheswick, while Adam West has a small part as Dr. Eric Hassler. This is the final entry in the canonic film series, and Sandra Dee's last appearance as Tammy. —alfiehitchie

    • Trivia
      In joke: While working in the pediatric ward, Tammy mixes up ID bracelets on babies, one of whom she identifies as "Bernard Schwartz", the real name of Tony Curtis, who Nurse Baxter mentions shortly thereafter in relation to the incident and who was then one of Universal's biggest stars.
    • Goofs
      When Annie is being operated on and her heart momentarily stops, the clock on the wall of the operating room says 10:45. Moments later, when her heart starts up again, it says 8:35 again.
    • Quotes

      Tammy Tyree: [having mixed up the babies' name tags] I could have took an oath on the Bible that he be Bernard Schwartz.

      Millie Baxter, Nurse: There hasn't been so much excitement around here since Tony Curtis came in for a check up.

    Hilarious and sweet
    Not as beautiful as "Tammy Tell Me True", but even funnier.

    Tammy is an implausibly innocent country bumpkin who clashes with the modern world. She has derogatory things to say about Shakespeare, Mozart, Psychology, Colleges, modern art, sleeping pills, freeways, conformism, phoniness.

    Tammy: "You mean you been livin' with yourself all your life without ever knowing what you are???"

    Sandra Dee is brilliant in her role - and it is truly hers.

    Much of the movie's delight is in Tammy's ungrammatical speech. She says glorious things like "Be you gonna or be ya ain't" (Will you or won't you?). She asks a man "Bein't ya the dumb waiter?" and he sternly replies: "No, I be the chief of staff!"
