Also, Miriam is too good looking. in the book she's supposed to be this frump. The way she looks here makes you wonder why she doesn't just go get a rich doctor husband rather than spend all her time managing Tony.
Anybody that thinks that this is trashy should check out some Shakespeare. Sex, violence & obsessive, antisocial behaviour have characterised literature since the ancient Greeks & the Bible.
What makes this film so wonderfully campy is the way everyone's trying ***so*** hard to be hard-boiled and street-smart. You can practically see the veins popping out on Patty Duke's forehead.
I love this movie immensely, but I always laugh in dread over the moves.. ;))). When the red head madam was singing, it looked like she was glued to the floor, and just kept bending like a gummy car figurines.. eeek... ;))
The songs are all is cheesey except the theme song Dionne Warwick sings. Lee Grant and Susan Hayward are the only actors in the movie that aren't Hammy
Every time Sharon Tate's character speaks about her mother it is so surreal. Doris Tate spent the years after the Tate- LaBianca murders as a crime victim's rights crusader. She is all over You Tube.

I am so honoured to have met Barbara Parkins when I was around 17 years old a number of times. She was a great friend of Patricia Neal she was always at Pat and Roald's parties long story. She was really nice and well...considering I was only a school boy she could not have been nicer. she seemed very fragile/brittle and a little depressed to me...I may be wrong but thats what I got from her...what else did she do.apart from Peyton Place. she was so very good in this
The arch at the very beginning is on the Yale University campus at the intersection of High Street & Chapel Street in New Haven, Connecticut. I used to live on High Street back in the early 90s & each day that i would walk under that arch I would think of this movie. There really isn't a bar where they walk in. I think it's the Yale Art Department, actually. :-)
You are right, hm1107g. That alarm clock is completely obnoxious, but it does start the best sequence of this film. The only part that's not completely depressing.
I dont think this movie is campy, really. I think it's actually very masterfully directed, and written by someone who knew showbiz from the inside. THe people stink of corruption in a way only someone from the inside would know. It's a beautiful window onto a time in history 43 years back now. I've never seen this thing. I'd heard of it but always thought it was something else. It is a total classic. Cinema filmstock is so real, its like stepping into the past.
People should stop trashing patty duke so much, yeah some scenes are over the top, but she was just doing her job. without patty this movie would be boring. not that i dont like sharon or barbara.

Sharon Tate should have stayed away from the future if not current Child Molester, Roman Polansky. Lee Grant is Dinah Manoff's "Grease" Mother.Sharon was a beautiful woman & too bad she got involved with Polansky, she'd never have been one of the Manson Murders. Polansky should've had been the one to go. That 13 yr old he admitted raping wouldnt have gone through such trauma.
Barbara Perkins I think was the Best actress in this film. Patty Duke was over acting in every scene.That along with the bad Voice overs & lipsyning was just many reasons this was a bomb & had the majority of its Stars ashamed of it. As they got older they embraced it because it is a iconic gay film. This is a '60's version of Dynasty due to the Bad Camp Acting that is spread throughout. I'm glad Judy never did the Film. Over acting in a movie is the main Ingredient for it to be a Camp classic.
I've never heard so many notes in any alarm clock in my life! Neely should get rid of it, and get a service or something. perhaps she won't need dolls.
not my cup of tea ,i could not get pass the first few chapters with book.

I love how at 03:41 it's clearly a different actress (with a different shadow), but apparently the director didn't care.

This film is campy, vamping and scampy. It was made in 1967. It is a CLASSIC.
It's now 2010! Perhaps one day someone will simply do it again. save the almost half century old critiques and DO BETTER...IF "you" can.
For now and since I was a very little girl, I LOVE this flick and I LOVE PATTY DUKE then & now.
Would that we all lived a life of such Productivity & Purpose...
