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.

A warm, funny movie.

This was the third in the so-so TAMMY series, and it is certainly the best. Sandra Dee is absolutely adorable in the title role, the cute country bumpkin who is forever performing a good deed, for someone else, that is. This time she goes off with a sick, eldery friend(the great character actress Beulah Bondi) to a big city hospital and gets a job in the place to be near her. While she inadvertantly turns the hospital upside down with her hilarious mishaps, our folksy heroine falls for a handsome young doctor(Peter Fonda in his film debut). No classic, but this is a warm, funny, and occasionally touching movie. Sandra Dee is an absolute joy to watch; this was her second and last turn as the TAMMY character, her first was TAMMY TELL ME TRUE(1961) which was a sequel to TAMMY AND THE BACHELOR(1957) starring Debbie Reynolds.
