Best Shot: The Parent Trap (1961)
Friday, June 9, 2017 at 6:30PM The weirdest thing happened to me this week. My life and plans were entirely thrown off when I discovered I had an identical twin in... no, no. That's what's happened to Hayley Mills. I have no such excuse other than that life has proven very complicated lately. I will. will. will. return to former blogging glory soon. Until then... please enjoy these fine articles on my favorite movie when I was a wee thing, Disney's The Parent Trap (1961)
The Entertainment Junkie
Jason Henson writes...
Running parallel to the twins' attempts to mend their broken family is an examination of why it fell apart in the first place. It's here that, for a family film, The Parent Trap entertains some complex ideas about marriage...
Film Actually
Shane Slater chose the same scene and writes...
Maureen O'Hara's Maggie is indeed the most fascinating character in "The Parent Trap"
and how's this for crazy...
Rachel Wagner chose the exact same scene (albeit a different image) to focus on in her write up. That's all three Best Shot partygoers this week.
My dvd is faulty so I'm delayed but I will get to it because I've been eager to rewatch.
P.S. Rachel was also the sole person to bravely join me in looking back at the Wonder Woman TV show last week, so you can see her take on that as well as thoughts on the new Wonder Woman movie.

Thanks so much for sharing and I understand that life has gotten busy. I wish we could get more people involved. I will keep trying. :)
Maureen O'Hara (RIP) is simply divine. Pity what happened to Brian Keith.
