This means getting Maureen from Boston to California and revealing all in an attempt to put mom and dad back together again. It works out well for the one who goes with Maureen O'Hara, but the one with Brian Keith discovers that Brian's head is being turned by a mercenary Joanna Barnes on the prowl whose mother reminds her about California's beautiful community property laws. They meet at summer camp and switch places the better to get to know the part of their life they've missed. She plays twins, separated at birth, each going to live with one parent and neither knowing of the other's existence. This was Hayley Mills's second film and third with Disney and in The Parent Trap she takes her Pollyanna, doubles it, and brings it up to the beginning of the New Frontier. Looking at it now though, I wonder if Walt Disney might have been perpetuating a bad fantasy on a generation. It's cute and clever and certainly fulfills a wish fantasy about kids from a broken home longing to get their parents back together. Looking at The Parent Trap over 40 years from when I first saw it in the theater I can see why it was such a hit in more innocent times. Reviewed by bkoganbing 6 / 10 Let's Get The Folks Together Not perfect by all means but a delight nonetheless. Overall, I liked this film very, very much. There's also Leo G.Carroll, who I am familiar with from his supporting turns in Hitchcock films like Suspicion and Spellbound, it was nice to see him again.

Let's not forget the other actors either, Brian Keith is fine as the father though he could have done with more material, and the stunning Maureen O'Hara is a delight as the mother. I first encountered Mills in Tiger Bay, a very underrated film that is and she was just brilliant in it, in fact her performance in that film is one of my all-time favourite child performances. Hayley Mills is outstanding in the dual roles of the twins who try to reunite their divorced parents. The direction is equally adept and skillful, David Swift also guided Hayley Mills through her Oscar-winning turn in Pollyanna the previous year. The script is funny, sharp and smart, there is some witty dialogue and also some touching parts too. Another nice component was the music, really tuneful and sweet and most of all memorable. The film is really beautiful to look at too, lovely cinematography, costumes and scenery. That said, The Parent Trap is a really engaging film, it is sassy, funny and smart with an original concept. It is a little too long however, and there are one or two moments in the film that could have been less padded such as the interlude at the summer camp. The remake was really nice too, but this has a more special place in my heart. I thoroughly enjoyed this film, and I do prefer it over the remake.
