Hayley Mills plays twin sisters Sharon and Susan separated when they were one year old by their parents' divorce. The two girls grew unaware of each other until they bump to each other in a summer camp. Soon they are plotting on how to bring Mum and Dad together again. This is a favourite of mine since I saw it as a kid some twenty years ago, working so well then as now. Hayley Mills, Maureen O'Hara and the rest of the cast are very good and the script flows wonderfully under the director's hand. Their comic timming is just wonderful. The DVD is quite good and has managed to keep most of the extras from the American release (which is quite good, considering what Disney did for instance with Pollyanna). The copy is in excellent shape and I am sure it will entertain both the kids and their parents.

People often get caught up in the Lindsay Lohan version of this tale. Or they remark on how cute 'It Takes Two' is with the Olson twins. But this was first! And this was best. Hayley Mills is glorious and likeable as both Susan and Sharon, in one of the first movies of her career. Don't miss this beneath the squabble over remakes.

This is one of my favourite films. Hayley Mills plays twins who do not know the other one exists. They meet at camp and plot to switch places so they can meet their respective parents.
The plan is that their parents will have to meet to switch back the twins, romance will be rekindled and they will live happily ever after (which of course happens)!
In the midst of all of this plotting, there is a horrid fiancee to get rid of and a major make over to be done.
I have watched this film too many times to count - I never get bored of it (and I'm 28!). Hayley plays the part brilliantly and the camera work of splitting the film is very good, though they have obviously got a double in for some shots which you can tell isn't Hayley.
I love it, a must for any young lady!

"I'm not saying a word, but..."
This is a great getaway movie. This is one that can be watched several times before getting all the nuances. According to the film credits, this movie is based on the Doppelganger. Read more
