Read MoreWow! Love, sex, alcohol, abortion, suicide, misunderstanding parents, wide-eyed teenagers, gossip, truth, justice, war, power players, immoral upholders of morality, moral opponents of immorality. It's all there, in 50-year-old form. "Peyton Place" is definitely dated, but as a film from the Hayes Code era, this is about as far out there as you could go. It's a great companion piece to the usual Leave It to Beaver/Ozzie and Harriet perspective of the 1950's --- especially since David Nelson has a supporting role in it. (West Side Story fans will see Russ Tamblyn in a very different role.) The film needs its 2.5 hours to follow all of its various adult and teenaged characters.

Read Morewhat i would like to see is another peyton face ,with a new screenplay of the original peyton place, unencumbered by censors,and as close as possible to the original novel-new cast (hopefully with some contemporary actors/ actresses). with newer musical score,and lots of pre - release publicity & promotional hype; sounds like oscar material to me,and,hopefully,the actors academy as well . all of you playwrights, directors,and producers out there:trust me-this is potentially a winner.
