I think the filmmakers did the right thing in giving Russ Tamblyn's character, Norman, a much better ending here than in the book where he was written like he's a future Norman Bates.
I wonder if the aerial views of what is supposed to be Peyton Place those of Maine where they shot the movie or New Hampshire where the author grew up. Such a beautiful place.
Hollywood seems to have lost the idea that they could make a LOT of money by returning to films such as this marvelous picture, instead of the trash that they are putting out today!
Thanks to whoever went up this wonderful movie is a classic of cinema with those big bright stars of the 50s as the beautiful Lana Turner, ohh god most beautiful woman and great actress, I've just been transported back 60 years just reminding me a lot things from my childhood, I always liked the film and this film is one of my favorites forever, I'm from mexico
Actually, it was a little worse than that. It was considered an immoral book, trashy and in the venue of Lady Chatterly's Lover. Of course when the movie was released and then the TV series with newcomers Ryan ONeal, Mia Farrow and Nick Nolte, etc, everyone could not wait to see it and did. Thanks for posting.
It has fallen out of fashion since "Dallas", "Melrose Place" et al. but for the longest time after this film, "Peyton Place" was a colloquialism used to refer to any place of melodrama, particularly of a scandalous kind. Example: "That high school is a real Peyton Place." Much as one refered to certain perfect suburban women as "Stepford Wives."
I was born in 1972 and remeber my mom use to talk about the soap. I was grown when I first saw this movie and I've loved it ever since. Even if there are no black people in it, I still like it.
I've been watching this, WSS, 7Bf7B, and scenes from Russ Tamblyn's other movies here and I'm so amazed at his versatility. He's so different in many of them.
I was 9 yrs. old when I first saw this movie. I thought Norman was so cute I told my parents I was going to marry him when I grow up. Of course, it was impossible, but I still love this movie. Thanks so much for posting it!
What a fun movie--great performance by Lana Turner. She never gave a bad performance ever! Classic old time actress. This movie is typical 50s and fun. Thanks for this post. Don't ever take it away.
This is the worst movie of all time...and why the hell would somebody name someone after any of the characters in this movie. Sleuth is a hell of a better movie, Allison MacKenzie. YOUR LUCKY I SPELLED YOUR NAME RIGHT.
Terrific movie. I have waited many years to see this movie. I would love to watch 'Peyton Place' the tv series. It must have been in 1964 or early 1965 I remember my mother watching Peyton place the tv series, and she would allow me to stay up and lay on the sofa with her My brothers were jealous that I was allowed to stay up with mom. I did't have to go to bed as early as they did ,cause I hadn't yet started attending school. That ended though in the fall of 65 when I statrted school.
I was named after the character of Allison MacKenzie. It's also spelled the same way. (Thanks mom and dad!) This is one of my very favorite movies. Norman is the best character and Russ Tamblyn is perfection-on-screen in his portrayal.
THANKS much for uploading this wonderful film. I'll have to read the book one day.
Just wonderful!! Thank you so much for your unselfish devotion to sharing so much of your time and energy to giving happiness and pleasure to so many!!
I love the scene at 0:40:34 that is an outside shot in Belfast Maine. The red brick building was the home of The National Theater Workshop For The Handicapped in 2004 and I was fortunate enough to be a student there. We also performed at the church that is in this shot.
