Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaImmediately after the graduation sequence, there is a quick scene showing Allison MacKenzie (Diane Varsi) at a typewriter. She is in the same pose that showed author Grace Metalious on the back of the paperback. The detail is exact, right down to the position of her body and clothing.
- GoofsAll of the women's hair styles and clothing are strictly 1957, not 1941.
- Quotes
Mr. Harrington: This job starts at 3,000 a year.
Michael Rossi: Then we're all wasting our time. That's only $5 a week more than I was making as a teacher, Mr. Harrington
Mr. Harrington: But this offers you security -- a long term contract.
Michael Rossi: Guaranteed poverty is not security.
- Alternate versions(Spoiler) Originally premiered at 162 minutes. Cut by 5 minutes, shortly after premiere, reputedly in the scene involving the murder of Arthur Kennedy's character.

STILL GREAT AFTER 60 YEARS ON
Peyton Place has all the drama for its day and still remains top entertainment after 60 years. Great acting from a cast that have mostly left us today but they have left behind a magnificent drama from a mesmerising book.
