* FirstPeriodPanic: According to Hayley's book, disaster struck while filming one of the isolation cabin scenes at the studio. She was required to jump on and off of the bed but before this scene was shot Hayley had her first period. The shoot was stopped as mom took Hayley away to remedy the problem. Hayley was very self conscious about filming with a foreign object inserted inside her for the first time. This is also the notorious scene where she had the wrong shoes on. Whether this was the reason for wearing the wrong shoes, only Hayley knows.

* ButIPlayOneOnTV: This movie has convinced a fair number of people, mainly children, that Hayley Mills actually has a twin. Understandable for the 1961 version, since the DoubleVision technique was new at the time.

* ThrowItIn: Charles Ruggles came up with the little bit of putting the cigarette ashes out on his hand after director David Swift mentioned knowing someone who used to do that.
* UncreditedRole: Susan Henning signed away her rights to be credited as Hayley Mills's double, to create the illusion of actual twin girls. At the wrap party, she was presented with an award from Walt Disney for "The Best Unseen Performance on Film".
* WagTheDirector: Maureen O'Hara wouldn't star unless she got $75,000 for the film (Disney had offered her a third of that to begin with) and she insisted on [[BillingDisplacement top billing]]. This wasn't granted, and Hayley Mills was billed first instead. The resulting tension was why she never worked with Disney again.

* {{Blooper}}: When Susan puts her hands on her head during the last verse of "Let's Get Together," her left arm disappears as it crosses Sharon's side of the screen.

* TheDanza: Sort of. Hayley Mills's double was Susan Henning, same name as one of the girls.
* FakeAmerican: Hayley Mills as both girls; one Bostonian, one Californian.
* GeniusBonus: "Alexander Graham" in Sharon's telegram refers to Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone. Surprisingly, only the grandfather seems to get the meaning behind it.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: In 2005, Disney released the first two movies on DVD[[note]]This marked the second go-round for ''The Parent Trap'', which first came to DVD in 2002[[/note]], but not the last two.
* PlayingAgainstType: Brian Keith, before his move to more family comedy media, was known for his tough guy roles in Westerns, and this film plays with that. He was incredibly nervous about the film, because he'd never done comedy before.
* PlayingTheirOwnTwin: Hayley Mills plays both twins.
** Averted in one of the made-for-TV sequels. ''The Parent Trap III'' starred real life identical triplets as the (eventual) stepdaughters of one of the Hayley Mills twins.
* RecursiveAdaptation: The Hayley Mills version had a {{Novelization}} of the Disney film version of the original novel, including a section of photos from the movie in the center of the book.
* SequelGap: The original was released in 1961. The second movie came along in 1986. The third and fourth movies both came out in 1989.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** The technique used to make it look like both girls were on screen at once was new in TheSixties, so Disney was skeptical, and wanted two different girls in the lead, until he saw how well it worked. What's more is that there were to be only a few shots where both girls were on-screen together - utilizing body doubles and trick photography. However when Disney saw how good the DoubleVision looked, more shots using the effect were put in.
** The director wanted to cut the part where the cake falls on Miss Inch, but Disney insisted he leave it in.
** Among the working titles considered for the film were ''His & Hers'', ''Susan & I'', ''We Belong Together'', ''For Now, For Always'', and ''Petticoats & Blue Jeans''. They also held a contest to see if someone could come up with a better name - but it was Disney himself who came up with ''The Parent Trap''.
