The Parent Trap (1961)

"The Parent Trap" (1961) is an ideal family film. Much of its appeal and entertainment, of course, is due to the marvelous dual role-play of Hayley Mills. The story is about a twin separated at birth, each living afterwards with one parent. In a summer camp they bump into each other and find out that they are sisters. They decide to swap places and thus bring their divorced parents together. Susie finds little trouble in Sharon's house, but Sharon enters Susie's to find his father ready to marry a young beautiful lady called Vicky, who is said to care only for his father's money. When Mother (Maureen O'Harra) and Susie join the father and Sharon real drama (sweetly comedy) begins. The twin's and mother's plan is to disrupt the marriage. The scenes entertain any relax viewer. Thus, the sometimes slap-stick comedy ends up so nicely that all live happily ever after.
I have not seen its 1998 version. If you have seen both, please tell me how they compare. Cast: Hayley Mills: Sharon McKendrick/Susan Evers Maureen O'Hara: Margaret 'Maggie' McKendrick Brian Keith: Mitch Evers
