"And I love every minute of it," says Debbie about her role as an uninhibited girl from the back bayous of Mississippi in Universal International's "Tammy." "Folks were beginning to believe I was suitable only for light, frothy roles in musicals," Debbie explained. ex-plained. "I talked my home studio, M-G-M, into loaning me to Universal-International for 'Tammy' just because I wanted to prove I could handle a character role. An actress can't remain typed in certain cer-tain parts without hurting her career in the long run." In "Tammy," young Miss Reynolds Rey-nolds portrays a barefoot lass raised on a shantyboat by her grandfather, completely cut off from modern city life. Her experiences ex-periences when she finally encounters encount-ers Leslie Nielsen, a romantic and handsome bachelor, highlight the heartwarming story. Before "Tammy" came along, Debbie strode a musical path to stardom, beginning with her boop-boop-a-doop performance as Helen Kane in "Three Little Words." Highlighting her career have been top roles in the musical, "Singin' In the Rain," "Susan Slept Here," "Hit the Deck," "A Catered Affair" Af-fair" and "The Tender Trap," in which she sang with Frank Sinatra. "I've been lucky to have good roles in top films," Debbie added. "It's just that it was time for a change so I changed." Although "Tammy" gives her more dramatic role than she has ever had before, it also gives her a chance to sing a song a folk-style folk-style tune based on the title and written by Ray Evans and Jay Livingston. Teamed with Leslie Nielsen, an exciting new male star who adds brilliance to the Technicolor and CinemaScope romantic comedy, Debbie romps, (mostly barefoot) triumphantly through the swiftly-paced swiftly-paced story of a child of the woods facing for the first time the perils, puzzles and romantic hazards of the so-called "life of the city." Helping her along the riotous route are magnificent performances perform-ances by co-stars Walter Brennan, as a foxy Grandpa; Mala Powers, a too-sophisticated socialite; Sidney Sid-ney Blackmer, Nielsen's professorial profes-sorial father; Fay Wray, his domineering dom-ineering mother; Mildred Nat-wick, Nat-wick, a middle-aged pixie; and Louise Beavers, the understanding understand-ing "Mammy." Producer Ross Hunter and Director Di-rector Joseph Pevney must feel immensely and deservedly proud of their accomplishments in bringing bring-ing "Tammy and the Bachelor" to the screen in such a beautifully-1 wrapped package of. entertainment, entertain-ment, crammed with the sort of delightful humor that - penetrates deeply into the funny-bone, brightens bright-ens the heart with its romantic capers and scratches the soul with the sharp needle of homespun philosophy. No amount of compliments compli-ments can over-extend our thanks to Oscar Brodney for his skillful adaptation of the novel by Cid Ricketts Sumner, nor to Art Arl-ing, Arl-ing, A.S.C., for his wonderful color photography. But, above all, "Tammy and the Bachelor" belong to Debbie Reynolds, Rey-nolds, whose brilliant artistry elevates ele-vates this delightful comedy romance ro-mance into one of the finest personal per-sonal triumphs that the screen has |
