Tammy and the Bachelor is a 1957 American romantic comedy film directed by Joseph Pevney and starring Debbie Reynolds as Tambrey "Tammy" Tyree, Walter Brennan as Grandpa Dinwitty and Leslie Nielsen as Peter Brent.

Tammy and her grandfather go to see what they can salvage from the wreck and find the unconscious pilot, Peter Brent (Leslie Nielsen).

Her uncle wants Peter to stop experimenting with tomatoes and offers him a deal to come to work with him in the advertising business.

The next morning, Peter announces that he is going to accept the advertising offer, leading Tammy to run away back to the bayou.

[3] Jay Livingston and Ray Evans were nominated for an Oscar for their song "Tammy", sung over the film's main titles by The Ames Brothers.

Its naive sentimentality has proved an irresistible target for parody, especially in Stan Freberg's "Madison Ave. Werewolf": "When I hold your sweet, hairy hands tight in mine... Clammy!

Reynolds's single version of the film's title song (heard later in the movie) became an across-the-music-charts #1 hit 45 release, on Coral Records.
