Review of Peyton Place (1957) by Rachel B — 17 Feb 2010
A decent interpretive adaptation of the book, but Grace Metalious's voice that gives such character and beauty to the underbelly of small town life is painfully absent. Putting aside difference with the novel, it's a nicely staged melodrama, but it gets too transparent near the end.
