The reasons for that are numerable, but praise must chiefly go to Hayley Mills, for not many 14-year-olds could carry a film with two charming performances. The Parent Trap is a highly entertaining and near-perfect film. Sharon and Susan continue to conspire to put their parents back together, as either more likely alternative - a "6-month split" or Dad's marriage to the conniving Vicky - is less than desirable for the growing girls and new best friends. Mitch and Vicky's intentions to soon wed changes the twins' plans the truth of their swapping comes out and Susan and Maggie head for California, unsure of what to expect. The girls' goal of bonding with their respective unknown parents in the hopes of a happy reunion suffers a blow upon the news that their father has met and fallen for a pretty young woman named Vicky Robinson (Joanna Barnes). In typical Disney fashion, the hired help suspects something is amiss before the parents have a clue. Having exchanged talents and trained each other on what their lifestyles entail, Susan and Sharon are able to stand in for one another without too much difficulty. Sharon gets a haircut to look like Susan and goes home to her father Mitch (Brian Keith), while the short-haired Susan (pretending to be Sharon) merely tells her mother Maggie (Maureen O'Hara) that she has had locks trimmed. Naturally, they want to find out more and to encounter the parent they have heard very little about.

After a series of mischief and mishaps, the girls discover they share the same birthday and have each only known a single parent for their entire life, which can only mean they are twin sisters. Susan Evers of California and Sharon McKendrick of Boston first meet at an all-girls summer camp and instantly clash despite (or perhaps because of) their uncanny physical resemblance. With versatility and some convincing visual effects, Mills portrays a pair of 13-year-old identical twins who never knew the other existed. But none of those subsequent productions would become as widely beloved as The Parent Trap. Mills and Walt Disney made for a potent and consistent combination, as they would collaborate on four additional films, released over the next four years. The following summer, the daughter of a revered screen actor and well-known playwright took the top two billings in her second Disney outing, The Parent Trap, adapted from the German book Das Doppelte Lottchen by Erich Kästner. Feeling at home at Disney, Mills wasted little time before making another film there. Suggested Retail Price: $14.99 (Reduced from $19.99)Īfter just one feature film role (a much-praised turn in 1959's Tiger Bay), Hayley Mills came to the Disney studio and immediately struck gold with Pollyanna (1960), which earned critical acclaim and a special honorary Oscar for the young teenaged English girl.
