AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Emil Bakkum To be frank, I am not well positioned to review the TV series Peyton Place. For Peyton Place has been a part of my upbringing. I was about ten years old, when the series started to be broad-casted in the Netherlands. Our family had owned a black-and-white TV for not more than a couple of years. I remember how the whole family looked in amazement at the unfolding events on the egg-shaped gray screen. The community of Peyton Place was the talk of the town in our little state. I still wonder what lasting impression it must have made on my blank soul. I do remember that I was deeply touched by the romance between Rodney and Allison. And how I wondered why she had not picked Norman. Forty-five years later, watching the DVDs is like meeting a very old friend. And still, the story (the episodes 1-31) had been almost completely wiped out by time. Even the killed baby of Betty had been forgotten, although it plays such a central role. Or Eli Carson. He had become a familiar face without a name (an old neighbor of mine? A far relative?). Of course there is an immense shift of judgment. At the time, you simply took the characters at face value, for granted. An adolescent (I don't know about my parents) can not yet see the psychological aspects in their behavior. For instance, on second acquaintance the Rod-Allison romance looks ridiculous ("Oh Allison..." and "I want to teach you everything I know. If you let me"). And the deep tragedy of Rod killing his child. The immature characters of Norm and Judy. Also I had not seen the probable war traumas of George and Elliot. The beloved doctor Rossi is actually quite arrogant and aggressive, and not at all so different from George. Nonetheliess, at the time he was extremely popular with the Dutch housewives. Etcetera etcetera. If you try to classify this piece of history, the label doctors' saga bubbles up. We watch the mental deviations of the characters from the perspective of the rational analyst (usually a physician or sometimes a veterinary; in this series it could be Swain). In Peyton Place, these deviations are generally ugly, which makes this series a rather depressing spectacle. If you are fond of such stories, consider seeing the Dutch film "Dorp aan de rivier". It contains an impressive scene, where the doctor crosses a river by jumping on the moving ice-floes, in order to do a delivery,

norahaty at last i found the pages about Peyton place series .I used to see it in my country in white and black when i was about 12-13 years,i will never forget it,alway hopped to get this long blond hair of Mia FARO(which she shaved it completely later on as a protest to Vietnam war).when it was published in a book here (translated to my language i bought it at once.in brief Peyton place as TV serial make a part of my beautiful memories. one day may i will be able to by the DVD of it ,if it comes available here.

chesarat I do not know if Soap Opera is inappropriate. In Spanish it's not. My favorites characters were Betty Anderson and Steven Cort. I really fall in love with this beautiful woman. I hope that one day I could get all the chapters and the final TV Movie in a DVD or whatever. I recommend it. I keep this serial in the deep of my heart and soul. I want to say Thank You to all the people responsible for this great TV Show. Sincerely Yours. César Romero (My real Name)

Rosemea D.S. MacPherson Mia Farrow (September) "Allison MacKenzie," a young woman who worked in a cute bookstore owned by Dorothy Malone (Basic Instinct) "Constance MacKenzie Carson," who was her mother. Allison started dating Ryan O'Neal (Zero Effect) "Rodney Harrington" and I used to love the series. Allison had really long beautiful hair and was innocent. I watched the series, dubbed and in black and white. There were people in the series that became very famous, and others some somewhat famous, such as: Gena Rowlands (Hope Floats) Mia Farrow, Ryan O'Neal (The Thief Who Came to Dinner) Ed Nelson(There's Something About Mary), Mariette Hartley (TV commercials for Polaroid cameras with James Garner, Marnie), Leslie Nielsen (Mr. Magoo), Barbara Parkins (Valley of the Dolls). The series and the actors were nominated for several awards such as Golden Globe, Emmy.
