This novel was adapted to film in 1957 in Tammy and the Bachelor, starring Debbie Reynolds. The book was so popular that Ricketts wrote two more novels based on this one (Tammy Tell Me True, in 1959 and Tammy in Rome in 1965) and three more films were also released (Tammy Tell Me True in 1961 and Tammy and the Doctor in 1963, starring Sandra Dee, and Tammy and the Millionaire in 1967 starring Debbie Watson). There was also a short-lived 1965 TV series, Tammy, inspired by the films. Modak-Truran says that "The first thing that comes to mind when I think of movies adapted from novels by Cid Ricketts Sumner is a romantic comedy featuring a cuddly Mississippi-bred cutie-pie who is head over heels in love with the perfect bachelor"" (from Wikipedia) .
