Has anyone here ever see the 1957 drama "Peyton Place?" It was about the lives of the citizens of Peyton Place, New England. It was GREAT movie, imo. All of the actors and actresses did such great jobs in their roles. My favorite character is definatly Constance McKenzie, played by Lana Turner. I also like the 1961 sequel "Return to Peyton Place." I've never seen the popular 1964-1969 primetime soap based on the original movie though. I wish I could see that AND read the book that the whole series was based on.

I taped it last week or the week before and watched it. Yes, it was a good movie, very risque for the 1950s though. I watched it to see David Nelson (Ted Carter).

I've seen it several times and also read the book. The movie was very good with brilliant actors. One of my favorites from the 50's. I didn't care so much for the sequel though. I would have liked it better if it had the same cast as the first one.
