	Peyton Place
		Peyton Place, a prime-time program based on the Grace Metalious novel, was an experiment for American television in both content and scheduling when it appeared on ABC, at that time still the third-ranked U.S. network.
		An unmarried woman, Constance MacKenzie, and her daughter Allison were placed at the dramatic center of the story.
		Constance (played by 1950s film melodrama star Dorothy Malone) eventually married Allison's father, Elliott Carson, when he was released from prison, though his rival Dr. Michael Rossi was never entirely out of the picture.

		Because of that, his livelihood is placed in jeopardy, thanks to a disapproving school board anxious to preserve the crumbling reputation of the town.
		Whereas the first film drew viewers in from the first few scenes, viewers of this sequel may find themselves glancing at their watches, wondering when it will be over.

		Peyton Place is, on its own terms, both a perfectly decent popular novel and an honest one.
		Since its release, "Peyton Place" has entered American vocabulary as a term for something scandalous, and after reading the novel, it's easy to see why it is still well-known by readers of all ages today.
		Peyton Place is a town of exactly 3675 individuals, where old men sit on wooden benches in front of the courthouse and the streets are all named for deciduous trees.

		The event was the Camden Film Festival -- held May 4-7, 2000.
		On the Inn's long porch, we sat in a chair on approximately the same spot where Diane Varsi sits in the film.
		Obviously Camden has changed a bit in the 43 years since 20th Century-Fox hit town, but much of the place is strangely familiar from the movie.

	PEYTON PLACE - **1/2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)*
		This is a movie which deals with some pretty tough subjects, which were presented in all of their sleazy glory in the novel but which have been tastefully toned down for the film, and as a result they are all the more effective.
		The movie opens with beautiful panoramic shots of the small New England town, a place where, we are told, "time is not measured by the clock or the calendar, but by the seasons." That line is spoken by Allison MacKenzie (Diane Varsi), who narrates the film.
		Metalious obviously hates Peyton Place and most of the people in it, and shoots herself in the foot by going overboard in describing explicitly how and why they're so terrible.

	DVD Savant Review: Peyton Place
		New school principal Michael Rossi (Lee Phillips) comes to Peyton Place, which would be a nice small town if it weren't for all the gossip, wanton sex and scandal that seem to roost on every doorstep.
		The implication is not that the place needs to be razed and sewn with salt, but that a little love and understanding will heal all wounds.
		She reminds us how groundbreaking the film was when new, and how disgustingly literal all the risqué content would be if filmed now.

		Peyton Place was filmed in beautiful Camden, Maine and I remember the time when it was filmed there..I was a kid growing up in Portland, Maine.
		The film has many pluses: Lana Turner is in a new kind of role here, not so camp, but fun to witness her distress and those hands of hers moving in all directions.
		PEYTON PLACE, one of my ten favorite movies ever, is a must-see and must-own on DVD when you have a three hour time slot.

		Peyton Place, with its myriad plot threads and cast of characters is a rollicking good yarn with obvious melodramatic tensions borne from some very juicy themes.
		The film shamelessly celebrates the purity of the New England landscape and culture - the changing seasons, good ol' American traditions like Labour Day and high school homecoming - while probing the underbelly of this wholesomeness.
		By no means an indictment of society, and certainly never openly cynical or satirical, it is nonetheless evident that Peyton Place is somewhat sick at heart, and by extension, so is much of small town America.

	GreenCine \| product main - Peyton Place (1957)
		Grace Metalious' once-notorious bestseller Peyton Place is given a lavish -- and necessarily toned-down -- film treatment in this deluxe 20th Century-Fox production.
		Set during WWII, the film concentrates on several denizens of the outwardly respectable New England community of Peyton Place.
		Filmed on location in Camden, Maine, Peyton Place was a huge moneymaker (even those who felt that the film was but a heavily laundered shadow of the Metalious original were pleased with the professionalism of it all); it not only spawned a 1961 theatrical sequel, but also a long-running prime time TV serial.

		Based the bestselling novel by Grace Metalious, Peyton Place is a hallmark of mid-20th century American culture and remains powerful melodrama to this day.
		The film was beautifully directed by Mark Robson, who's never gotten enough respect, perhaps due to his reputation as a craftsman; well, Peyton Place is a finely crafted work, solid entertainment, with majestic location work in Camden, ME, much of which will be lost in the transfer to the small screen.
		Peyton Place is one of my favorite books and one of my favorite movies.

	DVDFanatic Review: Peyton Place
		The reason Peyton Place is so relevant nearly 50 years later is that, while it is an escape to a time we can now only be homesick for, its real.
		For the most part the actors talk about their experiences with the film over the years, its popularity, who they were in touch with, etc. It’s a sweet commentary with a few memorable production anecdotes.
		Peyton Place is an extraordinary story both on screen as well as in context of its production.

		Film dirt and dust is popping all over the place.
		Overall the film had a slight to moderate grain level depending on the scene.
		However, a basic understanding and appreciation of classic films and film history, Cinemascope, Technicolor, and sound techniques of the time period of the film you are reviewing I think would be necessary to understand the original look of the film when reviewing it's DVD presentation.

		Peyton Place, which later spawned a successful television series, is almost laughable by today's standards, with its jaded depiction of small town life and its overheated dialogue.
		But the reals stars of the film are Hope Lange, who gives an amazingly sensitive performance as Selena, and Terry Moore, whose beautifully nuanced turn gives makes Betty Anderson one of the most surprising characters in the film.
		The film features a fine score by Franz Waxman, which is well served in the excellent audio presentation.

		And when the steamiest book of 1957 became the steamiest film of that year, "Peyton Place," protests were delivered by conservative religios.
		But by today's standards, this then-upsetting film is now vaguely silly: all those "terrible" carryings-on in the repressed New England community of Peyton Place are pretty tame, indeed, by today's standards.
		Ergo, "Peyton Place" is now at best a quaint look at scandalous goings-on behind closed doors.
