highly recommended

The daughter of legendary British actor John Mills and novelist Mary Hayley Bell (as well as the sister of actress Juliet Mills), young Hayley Mills broke the surface of fame at the tender age of 12, starring opposite her father in the thriller Tiger Bay. That film, along with a Berlin Film Festival award, was enough to attract the attention of Walt Disney, who promptly signed her to a five-year contract and put her in the starring role of Pollyanna. After wringing hearts and nabbing a special Oscar, Mills segued into the comedy thing--for double the fun--in The Parent Trap, the 1961 farce in which she played twins, separated at birth, who scheme to reunite their biological parents (Maureen O'Hara and Brian Keith, both surprisingly sexy for a Disney movie). On the brink of adolescence, Mills was a saucy role model for children of the Kennedy era: cute, endearing and, above all, wholesome despite her sneaky ways--everyone's meddlesome sister. Easily stepping into the Disney child-star gap as the original Mouseketeers were (literally) outgrowing their uniforms, Mills was the studio's live-action bread and butter for a brief moment in time, and The Parent Trap still remains her best vehicle, a classic now to adults who came of age during the early '60s. It also pioneered the processed split-screen technique, which while not seamless was revolutionary and exciting enough that, upon seeing the initial results, Uncle Walt asked the filmmakers to shoot more scenes in which Mills played opposite herself. --Mark Englehart

Ultimate Disney Classic

Hayley Mills, Hayley Mills, Brian Keith and Maureen O'Hara. Need I say more? This movie is pretty much flawless. I was so thrilled when Disney put this out on DVD. I have watched it numerous times since purchasing it from Amazon and I am never disappointed.

HALLEY MILLS

HAYLEY MILLS IS GREAT,I'VE LOVED HER AND HER MOVIES SINCE I WAS A CHILD.
HER SISTER IS GREAT TOO (JULIET MILLS) PASSIONS NBC

I adore this movie

This is one of my all time favortie Disney movies. Hayley Mills is just a delight to watch on screen and expertly pulls off playing both "twins". Maureen O'Hara is as beautiful as ever, adding quite a bit of humor along the way as the twin's mother.

I have to admit, I love the house in California that is featured in the movie and that's a big part of why I watch it over and over again, but the main reason I watch it is because of the songs! I can sing along to all of them and I enjoy every minute of this classic film. I hope you do too!

A Classic

If you have seen the newer version starring Lindsay Lohan, but haven't seen the original version, you're in for an unexpected treat when you watch this Hayley Mills classic. It is 1,000% better than the remake. Hayley Mills outshines Lindsay in every respect. And the supporting cast, including Brian Keith and Maureen O'Hara add to its charm. Highly recommended. The remake fails miserably to stand up to this classic. You might want to try the Parent Trap and Parent Trap II Collection on DVD.

Please Parents!

If you have young children (girls especially) show them the original Parent Trap, not the trash with Lindsay Lohan. This original Disney film is funny, adorable, and a personal favorite!
