 Review - Peyton Place and Return to Peyton Place by Grace Metalious (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Two best-selling and controversial novels - Peyton Place and Return to Peyton Place - appear in an omnibus edition that captures the sins and scandals, passions and jealousies, of a small New England town.
While Peyton Place concentrates on the people of the town, looking behind the surface of their mostly Puritan lives in an idyllic environment, its sequel deals with the publication of a book about Peyton Place and its people’s reactions to it.
After some failures in both her work and love life she returns to Peyton Place, pens a book about this small town and its people, learns to live with their hostile reactions, reconciles with her estranged mother, goes to Hollywood to work on the film script, finds and loses love.

Metalious' ``Peyton Place'' is roiling with hypocrisy, spite and distrust.

``Peyton Place'' gave Metalious the money she wanted, but because she was inexperienced in business, she only got $75,000 for the movie rights.

Return to Peyton Place starts out bad, with Rosemary Clooney singing a silly song over location shots of the town.

While Return to Peyton Place occasionally runs on cable TV's classic film, and it is worth a look for those who saw and enjoyed the original and might be curious about the sequel, it is, in the end, superfluous and irrelevant.

 TIME.com: Gutter Recrawled -- May 5, 1961 -- Page 1
Return to Peyton Place (20th Century-Fox) is a recrawl of the New England gutters so noisomely celebrated by Author Grace Metalious in Peyton Place.
Fortunately, much that lies hidden between hard covers cannot decently be put on film; Producer Jerry Wald has had to wash that smut right out of his script.
According to the steamy 24-sheets, Return "begins where Peyton Place left off." The main characters, though portrayed by different actors, are the same, and so is the theme that the nicest people have the filthiest minds.

While the full-screen fl and white transfer is not entirely without very occasional minor damage, the sharpness and grey scale are way above average and complement the harsh camerawork and lighting to sometimes spectacular effect, and the monaural sound is crisp and clear.
While an excellent screenplay, top-notch direction, luscious photography and a talented cast miraculously converted PEYTON PLACE, a tawdry and trashy bestseller, into a distinguished and even critically admired cinematic triumph, its sequel RETURN TO PEYTON PLACE (1961) benefited from none of the above.
It did however, supply Mary Astor (and ultimately the grateful viewer) with, by leaps and bounds, the most spectacularly brilliant performance on view in both films.

The downside is unearthing films that are best left buried, and ‘Return to Peyton Place’ definitely falls into that category.
Tuesday Weld, as the abused Selena Cross, is spirited and would have made a better Allison, I think, while Lynley’s eerie detachment would have been suitable for a woman who was raped by her stepfather as a girl.
As you may have gathered by now, I found ‘Return to Peyton Place’ pretty tedious; in fact, at two hours I have to say I found it little short of torture to sit through.
