1) Tiger Bay (1959) - first rate thriller from J Lee Thompson with Mills superb
2) Pollyanna (1960)- hard going, very long, not hard to see why it wasn't the success they hoped, but Mills is charming and she won a Special Oscar for it
3) The Parent Trap (1961) - great fun, Mills in terrific form
4) Whistle Down the Wind (1961) - superb film
5) The Chalk Garden (1964) - effective British drama
6) The Trouble with Angels (1968) - surprisingly pro nun comedy with Mills fun as a naughty girl... though she does decide to take vows at the end!
7) The Family Way (1966) - Mills is a nice girl but shows off her backside and has sex in a warmly affectionate film with a surprising amount of gay sex
8)Twisted Nerve (1968) and Endless Night (1972) - psycho thrillers which are more vehicles for Hywel Bennett than anything else
9) Take a Girl Like You (1970) - not all these films are good - creepy sex comedy with Oliver Reed as a very aggressive pursuer -this film is awful and is the sort of bad material that helped kill Mills' career as a star
10) The Kingfisher Caper (1975) - pretty awful South African adventure story which finished off the job started by Take a Girl Like You
