Peyton Place Watching Peyton Place

[xab]

Childhood memories... The series was bold considering the era (the 60's) but it is quite shy compared to the novels... They are a festival of taboos blasting...
I daydream about an updated version of Peyton Place by HBO...

Return to Peyton Place (1961) (...)
Mary Astor steals the movie with a riveting performance as an obsessive mother (no shortage of them in Peyton Place) who appears to be existing in another, more gothic movie

Like Joan Crawford in QUEEN BEE or Judith Anderson in REBECCA or Miriam Hopkins in THE CHASE or Bette Davis in THE NANNY, Mary Astor in RETURN TO PEYTON PLACE is one of the definitive Scorpio-Rising- playing-a-Scorpio-Rising performances captured on film. And it's as unsettling as it should be.
