Movie Reviews of Return to Peyton Place
Movie Review: Return to Peyton Place - "Top Notch"
Summary: 5 Stars
I liked this movie! And here's why: It's an exciting film whose content centers around a first-time novelist from a small New England town, a new trip to the big city (New York), and the whirl wind business of book publishing. Carol Lynley stars as the young writer Allison MacKenzie who works with Lewis Jackman(played by Jeff Chandler), a married head of the book firm in the Big Apple of the early 60's. Context really comes into play here, as a variety of top stars end up influencing each other, and Allison herself, who ends up with feelings for Lewis, as well as some she has never experienced before. The beautiful seasons of autumn and winter add to the nostalgic imagery of this movie in the northern states and the hustle and bustle of New York. With the introduction of Allison's new book to the world, she sets the literary world on fire, as well as the people she knows and loves in her own small New England town! Related items would be the first movie Peyton Place(B&W)and the book of the same name by Grace Metallious. While the first movie and the book were good, Return to Peyton Place holds it's own and is even better.Movie Review: Good follow-up on its own merits
Summary: 5 Stars
I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It has a stellar cast & is an engrossing sequel to the original. The plots are interesting & the actors are talented & enjoyable to watch. It isn't fair to compare it to the original. The original was great, but then so is this contribution to the film series. I would recommend it to be watched back-to-back on a sunday afternoon, it would make for a fun marathon. Myself, I'm not at all a fan of sequels, but Carol Lynley, Jeff Chandler, Mary Astor & Brett Halsey deserve kudos for their meat & potatoes performances in this production. I'm very pleased it's finally on DVD.Movie Review: Enjoyable Soap Opera
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this film to be a perfect sequel to the original film and in many respects it is much better. Jeff Chandler is excellent in the role of the publisher as is Carol Lynley as the writer. It would be difficult to appreciate this film not having seen the original though. So definitely see that one first. The cinematography is good and the writing was well done. If you're into melodramas from the fifties and sixties like Back Street and Imitation Of Life then you are sure to enjoy this one.Movie Review: RETURN TO PEYTON PLACE

THIS IS WONDERFUL SEQUEL TO PEYTON PLACE, ALTHOUGH THESE TWO MOVIES STAND ON THEIR VERY OWN, CAST IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, IT CONTINUES TO ENTERTAIN AND HOLD YOUR ATTENTION BEAUTIFULLY. IT GIVES AN ACCOUNT WHAT LIFE IS LIKE IN A SMALL COUNTRY TOWN WHICH IS NOT ABLE TO MOVE OR CHANGE THEIR MORALS AND VALUES AND TO KEEP THEIR YOUNG PEOPLE TRIPPED IN THE PAST.Movie Review: Return to Peyton Place

I saw this movie when I was a kid; my mom use to watch these types of movies. I thought it was a great romantic/drama movie for that period. It was when women dressed graceful and men were gentlemen. The old cliche;(when men were men, and women were women. This movie is a great example of that phrase.
