Favorite Flick Friday

Ahhhh....childhood.

I love watching movies that take me back to those days.

Here is one such movie.







Actors: Hayley Mills, Maureen O'Hara

Rating: G

Year: 1961

Genre: Family, Comedy, Romance

The Scoop: Two girls living in opposite sides of the country end up at the same summer camp where they are forced together and discover that they are twin sisters. Neither knew of the other's existence.

Favorite Character: Maggie McKendrick

Favorite Line:
Maggie: Oh yes! Don't say anything about that dear, sweet, precious Vicky! That plus-faced child bride and her electric hips!

Why I Love This Movie: Oh my goodness. What's not to love? It's funny, cute, wholesome, clever and just so lovely. I like the remake, too, but definitely prefer the original. The music is fun. The acting is GREAT. The characters are so likeable. I recently watched this movie with Miriam; thinking that she would lose interest within the first ten minutes, but she didn't! She persevered and she actually enjoyed it. Made a movie mama oh so happy.

When I was younger (okay, even high school), I used to claim that Hayley Mills was my favorite actress. 99% of the time, my friends had a clue who I was even talking about. I was not cool. And when everyone would play the movie quote game, mine was a very RANDOM one from Pollyanna. Again, not cool.
