STARRING:
Adapted from the scorching pages of Grace Metalious' scandalous novel - one of the biggest-selling books of all time - Peyton Place lifts the lid on the lives and loves of a group of ordinary people in a small New England town. The multiple stories revealed herein - involving sexual frustrations, suicide, rape and murder - are skillfully woven together by a fine screenplay by John Michael Hayes and the tight direction of Mark Robson. Aided by excellent performances from an all-star cast, including Lana Turner, Hope Lange, Arthur Kennedy, Diane Varsi, Russ Tamblyn, Lloyd Nolan and Betty Field, Peyton Place is one of Hollywood's finest and most successful dramas. This outstanding movie spawned not only a successful sequel but an even more successful and long-running TV series.
When Mike Rossi (Lee Philips) and Dr. Swain (Lloyd Nolan) are driving in a car, they come to a stop sign and the sign is red. In the 1940's (the time of this picture), all stop signs were in fact yellow and stop signs were not changed to red until the mid 1950's.
This film was almost a box office flop. It performed poorly in its first few weeks in release. Then news broke out about star Lana Turner's infamous scandal: her affair with mobster Johnny Stompanato, and his death at the hands of Turner's daughter. The ongoing national coverage of the subsequent murder trial turned the film into a box office smash. Ironically, Turner had initially feared the press swirling around the trial would end her career.
