Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Peyton Place is a 1957 drama film directed by Mark Robson, based on the wildly successful potboiler novel of the same name by Grace Metalious.The setting is 1941 and the quiet New England seaside town of Peyton Place, where it seems that a lot of the residents have secrets. Class valedictorian Allison MacKenzie (Diane Varsi) doesn't have any secrets, but her mother Connie (Lana Turner), a widow who owns a dress shop, has a big one. Allison is sweet on another member of the high school graduating class, Norman Page (Russ Tamblyn), but Connie gets violently angry at the prospect of Allison losing her virginity and Norman's mom is just generally a domineering shrew.Allison's best friend Selena Cross (Hope Lange) lives in a tumbledown shack with her weary mother Nellie (Betty Field), housekeeper to the MacKenzies, and her violent drunken lout of a stepfather, Lucas Cross (Arthur Kennedy). Other students in the graduating class of 1941 include the vaguely slutty Betty Anderson (Terry Moore), rich boy Rodney Harrington (Barry Coe) who likes her, while Rodney's father Leslie (Leon Ames) categorically forbids Rodney from marrying a lower-class girl. And the new principal of Peyton Place High School is Michael Rossi (Lee Phillips), a handsome Cool Teacher who starts paying a lot of attention to beautiful single mom Connie.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Lorne Greene, a couple of years before his big break with Bonanza, appears towards the end as a prosecutor. Peyton Place achieved franchise status after the film was followed by a Prime Time Soap series on ABC in the 1960s, which was immensely popular and largely displaced both the novel and movie in the public consciousness. | |

Auto Erotica | |
| Peyton Place / int_798a9e41 | comment |
Auto Erotica: Subverted. Betty is miffed after Rodney dumped her, but she still gets in his car. They start wrestling in the front seat and Betty even says "Are you going to make love to me?", this in 1957 when the meaning of that phrase was starting to change. Then moments later she grabs her purse, whacks him upside the head with it, exits the car, and tells him to get lost. | |

| Peyton Place / int_9843be73 | comment |
As You Know: Connie complains about Allison's habit of always kissing her father's portrait, which causes her to reply "It's not my fault he died when I was two!" (The audience later learns that matters are a bit more complicated than that.) | |
