Based on Grace Metalious' best-selling novel, Peyton Place received an impressive nine Oscar nominations in 1957, including Best Picture. Lana Turner's acclaimed performance as Constance MacKenzie, the single mother of a beautiful teen (Diane Varsi), earned her a Best Actress nomination (Varsi received Best Supporting Actress consideration as well).
While Constance and the other parents in a picture-perfect New Hampshire town strive to keep their teenagers on the straight and narrow, scandals take place around them: A drunken school caretaker (Arthur Kennedy, nominated for Best Supporting Actor) traumatizes his stepdaughter, which prompts a murder, a trial and the revelation that nothing is as it seems in this beautifully photographed, spell-binding drama filled with top-notch performances.
