Review of The Parent Trap (1961) by Ashley H — 22 Sep 2017

That was overall quite cute, except for Hailey Mills's hair. And she wasn't really a good enough singer to need to build the soundtrack around her. Loses a star just on the basic premise that every kid with divorced parents watches these movies and dreams of their parents getting remarried and we grow up crushed that it doesn't work for our family's.

And the whole fact that Maggie punched Mitch in the eye hard enough to black it, indicates this has happened before, and is given permission to do it again. Men being victims of domestic violence isn't better than them being the perpetrators.

I'm guessing if the roles were reversed this movie would've gone the way of Song of the South never to be seen again.
