The other was by using double exposure process shots when both twins were seen side-by-side facing the camera. One was with over-the-shoulder and long shots using a double for Mills. The scenes of the twins interacting were filmed in two ways. The Parent Trap was Mills' follow-up to Pollyanna, and was even more successful. The film made Mills a star, and earned her a special Oscar® for her performance. Walt Disney saw that film, and immediately put Hayley under contract, giving her the title role in Pollyanna (1960).

Mills had made an impressive movie debut in the British film Tiger Bay (1959) at the age of 13, playing alongside her father, British star John Mills. They switch places to get to know the parents they've never met, then conspire to re-unite the estranged couple. The girls are unaware of each other's existences until they meet at camp. Sharon has been raised by her mother (Maureen O'Hara) in Boston, and Susan by her father (Brian Keith) in California. She plays identical twins whose parents divorced when the girls were infants, each parent taking one of the twins. One of the Baby Boomers' most fondly remembered Disney live-action films, The Parent Trap (1961) offers double the pleasure of British teen sensation Hayley Mills. Goaded on by the scheming youngsters, Mitch and Maggie resolve their marital differences and decide to make a second trip to the altar. In their efforts to get rid of their father's fiancée, the girls enlist Maggie's aid and then proceed to make life so miserable for Victoria that she abandons all thoughts of marrying Mitch. The two children then reveal their true identities and force Maggie to bring Susan back to her California home. Neither parent is aware of the deception until Sharon learns their father is planning to marry a conniving gold digger, Victoria Robinson. They decide to get their parents together again, and when camp is over, they switch places in order that each may meet the parent she has never known. They take an initial dislike to each other (Sharon is a proper Bostonian while Susan is a rowdy Californian), but before long they discover their relationship, and as the summer progresses they become close friends. Now, after 14 years, the twins are accidentally reunited when they are sent to the same summer camp. Sharon has lived with her mother, Maggie, while Susan has lived with her father, Mitch neither knows of the other's existence. Sharon and Susan have to figure out a way to get rid of Vicky and bring Maggie to California more quickly than planned, so that their parents can reconcile, and the foursome can be one big happy family.Sharon McKendrick and Susan Evers are identical twins whose parents were divorced when the girls were infants. Sharon and the domestics in the Evers household think Vicky is merely a gold digger out for Mitch's money. Sharon and Susan are initially able to carry off the ruse, but in California, their plan hits a snag when Mitch introduces his daughter to a young woman named Vicky Robinson (Joanna Barnes), Vicky, who aspires to be the second Mrs. The two parents would ultimately have to 'un-switch' them, when the girls hope their parents will fall in love all over again. The other thing they believe is that their parents still love each other, why else had neither ever remarried. Wanting to get to know and ultimately love the parent they never met, Sharon and Susan decide to switch places, Sharon will go to California and pretend to be Susan, and Susan will go to Boston and pretend to be Sharon. It is during this confinement that they finally get a chance to know each other and learn that they are indeed twins, separated when they were babies when their parents, Maggie McKendrick (Maureen O'Hara) and Mitch Evers (Brian Keith), divorced. After the girls carry out one battle after another against each other, the camp administrators ultimately place the two in solitary confinement, the two eating, sleeping, and playing only with each other. It's hate at first sight, as besides the differing length of their hair, they look exactly the same. Thirteen-year-olds prim and proper Bostonian Sharon McKendrick (Hayley Mills) and tomboyish Californian Susan Evers (Hayley Mills) meet at summer camp.
