Miley Cyrus came late to the party of Disney-developed performers with famous fathers. In the 1960's Hayley Mills became a very popular child actress by appearing in a series of Disney movies, including Pollyanna and The Parent Trap. Her father is John Mills, who performed in more than 100 films and was knighted by the Queen of Great Britain for his achievements. The Disney films were very entertaining; however, my favorite Hayley Mills film was her first feature role and, of course, it was in black and white. The movie is Tiger Bay, and it was released in 1959. The film also features Hayley's father and German actor Horst Buchholz. The movie is best described as a drama/crime story. The character played by Hayley Mills in complex and fascinating. A real bonus is the location filming which will give you a real life experience of visiting a port city in England 50 years ago. Movies are wonderful time machines, and this one is authentic and thoroughly entertaining. For a good time, put your eye on the Tiger.
