Peyton Place
There seems to be a dark side to Michael's life, which has returned to the city after the Second World War. After his return, Michael appears to be on a strong mission with a man named Constance, a man who is a large and very arrogant shopkeeper. Perhaps there may be many secrets inside New England City that seem controversial and numerous scandals.

Shows America's beauty through its warts and blemishes, something that even today is often overlooked.

The elements and storylines that ended up watered-down are to the detriment of the film's overall effect.

Though a contemporary audience would hardly find Peyton Place shocking today, what is intriguing is that audiences in 1957 would not have found it shocking either.
April 06, 2005
Effective melodrama with some satisfying emotional confrontations, particularly from Lana Turner.

Peyton Place, with its myriad plot threads and cast of characters is a rollicking good yarn with obvious melodramatic tensions borne from some very juicy themes.

Mark Robson's Hollywood version is far more enjoyable than the Grace Mattallius's trashy novel it's based upon, a quintessential small-town movie that in morality and other issues is sort of an ideological summation of the entire decade.
January 30, 2012
This is the kind of hypertensive trash that gives melodrama a bad name, cynically tempering its naughty bits with smug moralizing.

It comes with its full quota of sex, conspiracy and violence, but the story is told in such circumspect fashion that next to nobody was offended.

It's by turns gripping and silly. I suppose that's what makes good soap.
January 01, 2000
It's corn in the grand style, much of it delivered with sweep and conviction, and the intrigues come thick and fast.

See it for 1950s' sexual mores if nothing else.
July 06, 2010
Under Mark Robson's direction, every one of the performers delivers a topnotch portrayal.
