Starring Sandra Dee, John Gavin
An attractive adolescent from the southern backwoods, Tammy has the engaging qualities of naivety and directness - the epitome of the youthful American heroine whose antecedents stretch back directly to Mary Pickford.
In this film Tammy determines on a reunion with her boyfriend at college, and decides to get herself an education - but in the end she teaches her tutors a few things.

In a New York basement a group of black Americans talk and sing about their lives, about the experiences that shaped their attitudes. Outside on the streets of Harlem you can see the faces of a new generation of black Americans and hear the music of Memphis Slim, Leadbelly and Jimi Hendrix

This latest film by the director of On the Bowery and Come Back Africa has been acclaimed as 'a valuable contribution to the pitifully small supply of films which treat with any integrity the black experience in America.'
