The Pay-Rent Trap

I just watched a recent film added to Netflix:

• The Parent Trap (1998 film)

The first that occurred to me is that the character  played by  Dennis Quaid is:

 Nicholas "Nick" Parker, Annie and Hallie's father. 

An addition to the "Parker/Richard Parker" pattern-cluster.

Other cast/crew who stand out:

• Lindsay Dee Lohan^[4] (born July 2, 1986)
• Polly Dean Holliday (born July 2, 1937) 
• Ronald Stevens (2 September 1925 – 11 November 2006) 
• Erin Ashley Mackey (born June 19, 1986) 
• Charles Richard Shyer (born October 11, 1951)
• David "Dave" Swift (July 27, 1919 – December 31, 2001) 
• Emil Erich Kästner ( 23 February 1899 – 29 July 1974)

Release dates	July 29, 1998 (United States) December 11, 1998 (United Kingdom)

On investigating the first film version I discovered Leo Carrol among the cast... he cropped up in my previous post.  Note the following re cast/crew of The Parent Trap (1961 film):

The October 29th wiki page:

• Sir James Wilson Vincent Savile (31 October 1926 – 29 October 2011)

His birthday and date of death generates a cluster as well.  
The October 31 wiki page:

Ringgold Wilmer "Ring" Lardner Jr. (August 19, 1915 – October 31, 2000) 

The golden ring of fire.  And Lardner is a cryptic "Oiler" (see previous posts)
