The main character of the first three films, Tambrey "Tammy" Tyree, is portrayed as a kind and friendly country girl who finds romantic love. Her rustic southern dialect shows her isolation from modern culture, as well as her her rural upbringing but, in the original novel, ''Tammy Out of Time'', Professor Brent discovers that she uses speech expressions going back to Chaucer, and much of her vocabulary is from the Elizabethan era “as is true of some of the mountain folk of Kentucky and Tennessee.” ''Tammy and the Bachelor'' was the basis for the 1965-1966 television series '' Tammy''.
