Peyton Place
While Constance (Lana Turner) and the other parents in a picture-perfect New Hampshire town strive to keep their teenagers on the straight and narrow, scandals take place all around them. A drunken school caretaker (Arthur Kennedy) traumatises his stepdaughter, which prompts a murder, a trial and the revelation that nothing is as it seems in this beautifully photographed, spellbinding drama filled with top-notch performances. From the novel by Grace Metalious.
