Movie Review: ****Parent Trap (1961)

My kids grew up with Hayley Mills, and this as one of their favorites.  Hayley Mills plays two roles, as twin sisters, Susan and Sharon; daughters of parents who split when they were young, and each took one of the children.  I say that was a lousy resolution, and they were lucky this had any good ending at all.  Father (Brian Keith) is caught in a new romance, and mother (Maureen O'Hara) is coming to save the day.  The girls have a belief that their parents will some how get back together.  However, when new fiance, father and the girls end up on a back country camping trip together, the way is paved for the girls to sabotage everything.
This movie is fun.  Hayley Mills delves into music.  Of course who knows if she is really playing.  However she was also good; and I must admit, I like to see Maureen O'Hara.  She is one of my favorite.
