Peyton Place (1957) Better Quality Lana Turner, Lee Philips, Lloyd Nolan

A peaceful New England town hides secrets and scandals. Steamy goingson abound in the small, prim New England community of Peyton Place. Newcomer Michael Rossi (Lee Philips) arrives in town on the eve of World War II and is soon involved with gorgeous but prudish shop owner Constance MacKenzie (Lana Turner), who keeps some secrets from her daughter, Allison. Amidst engagements and school graduations, Michael discovers seething, dark undercurrents that include rape, suicide and murder.
