MML Series Investment Fund
1295 State Street
Springfield, Massachusetts   01111

Gentlemen:

MML Series Investment Fund, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust"), is a
subsidiary of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ("MassMutual").  You
have requested that the undersigned provide a legal opinion in connection with
the filing by the Trust of a Notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940  (the "Rule") for the Trust's fiscal year ended December 31,
1995.

In accordance with the Rule, the Trust has registered an indefinite number of
shares of beneficial interest, $.01 par value per share (the "Shares"), under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In accordance with the no-action letter
dated June 20, 1995 from the Office of Insurance Products, Division of
Investment Management of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Trust will
calculate and pay registration fees pursuant to the Rule based on all of its
sales and redemptions of securities during the fiscal year ended December 31,
1995, except sales to and redemptions from insurance company separate accounts
that issued securities on which registration fees were paid to the Commission
pursuant Section 6(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended. The purpose of
the Notice is to make definite the registration of 1,495,397.200 Shares.

I am a member in good standing of the bar of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
and a Second Vice President and Associate General Counsel of MassMutual.  As
such, I have acted as counsel for the Trust during 1995 and am familiar with the
action taken by its Trustees to authorize the issuance of the Shares.  I have
examined its records of Trustee and shareholder action, its By-Laws and its
documents as on file at the office of the Secretary of The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts and the Springfield City Clerk.  I have also examined such other
documents as I have deemed necessary for the purpose of this opinion.

Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the Shares were validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable, except as set forth in the next paragraph.

The Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts business
trust."  Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may, under
certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the
Trust.  The Trust's Declaration of Trust, however, provides that if any
shareholder is charged or held personally liable solely by reason of being or
having been a shareholder, the shareholder shall be entitled to be held harmless
from and indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability.
Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the Trust itself
would be unable to meet its obligations.

I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Notice that the
Trust will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the
Rule. This opinion is rendered to you in connection with that Notice and is
solely for your benefit. This opinion may not be relied upon by any other
person, firm or other entity for any purpose, without my prior written consent.

Very truly yours,

/s/Richard M. Howe

Richard M. Howe
Second Vice President and
Associate General Counsel
