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.

Movie Review: **^The Mountain Men (1980)

I would have scored this movie higher, but it was very violent and very graphic.  This film centers around four main characters, and includes a love triangle.  Two mountain men, Billy Tyler and Henry Frapp (Charlton Heston and Brian Keith) are looking for the good life with beaver pelts, which seems to allude them.  They take on an Indian hostage, Running Moon (Victoria Racimo).  Running Moon falls for Tyler, who treats her much better than her husband.  Turns out her husband, Black Foot warrior, Heavy Eagle (Stephen Macht) wants to kill Tyler, and can really carry a grudge.  These people are all on a collision course.
