  • Technical interest: The film’s split-screen scenes (Hayley Mills playing both twins) were achieved using optical printing and careful choreography; it’s a good reference for students of pre-digital special effects.
  • Credits to note: Director David Swift; producer Walt Disney; music by Paul J. Smith; screenplay adapted from Erich Kästner’s 1949 novel Lottie and Lisa (Das doppelte Lottchen), though the film relocates and Anglicizes aspects of the story.
  • Alternate titles and cataloging: In some library catalogs or foreign releases the movie is listed under variations like “Parent Trap, The (1961)” or “The Parent Trap (Original 1961 Version)” — search variants if you can’t find it at first.
