On Location In Peyton Place

[@EricLehner]

Hello from Canada. Beautiful! Thank you.

[@bobhill9124]

Well done and beautiful photography. Thanks for taking us back to the locations which thankfully haven't changed much with time. New England is beautiful, especially in the Fall. And the film Peyton Place was very well acted and for me, made me nostalgic for that time and place.

[@kittikhunsodprasert5841]

How could one can made this beautiful theme like this. This series was shown in Bangkok in the period of 1967 then I was 5 years old but I recognised this tune until today because it is so touching to my heart and still love this tunes till today, also the story when I got old enough.

Reminds me of my home town in upstate NY. Beautiful scenery

[@chrisallen7911]

I am so thankful all the locations look almost identical to the way they did in 1957!! That says a lot about a town that respects its history. I have always dreamed of living in a place like that!

Brings back so many of my years of youth ( mid 60's ) in the north east during the autumn. Walking home from school, transfixed with autumn's colors, that autumn smell and the early golden dusk through the falling leaves. I almost grieve for that time.

[@mpaxton8991]

This is absolute epic beauty, and it makes me sad too. My husband and I were seriously going to move from Virginia to Maine, but things didn't work out. We have a nice home, but a piece of our heart went with the plans and dreams of Maine. Maybe when we get to heaven we will see the likes. Thanks for such a lovely reminder of a great old movie and allowing us to visit a fond memory.

[@susanstancliff2937]

So beautiful! It makes you feel like you live there and are part of it! Thank you!

I just watched the movie yesterday, love the music too, thank you! Music by Franz Waxman, Hilltop Song.

[@jacksugden8190]

A series I first watched in 1964, those locations and street scenes were rather striking, I mesmerised by Mia Farrow and Barbara Parkin’s acting, such a nice thing seeing these scenes again, if only to go back to 1964 again.

[@bonniedavis4843]

I love this movie, and I have walked these locations. My sister has lived in Camden 45 years, so I have visited many times. My heart is there.

[@Everythingfreshandsassy]

Beautiful and beautifully scored. Thank you!

[@lemoncrinckles]

The music and location elevated what was a lurid book into story with pathos and depth. Your film beautifully captured the essence of the time and place.

[@Nevada_Dan]

@Ed Miller Agreed!

[@vivianpowell1732]

Of the three main "Peyton Place" creations (those being the book, the original movie, and the TV series) I believe this movie is the best. The book was lurid and sensational, and that's what sold it. The TV series was a soap opera. But this movie has real artistic and cultural value. I think of it as a thing unto itself, standing apart from the book. The cast, performances, music, setting, and story are all so memorable. Connie and Mike (Lana and Lee) were a gorgeous couple.

[@pcojedi]

Great video, would love to see the town in person but google maps says I am 30 hours driving time away here in Texas

[@Carefree6714]

How absolutely beautiful- really gorgeously done. Camden is one of the most beautiful small towns in the US & after visiting myself it was no surprise why 20th Century Fox chose it to be Peyton Place. One of my favorite novels and favorite films of all times. You’ve done it justice, perfectly. Thank you!

[@christinebethencourt6197]

Carefree6714 can i ask you where is this town in the US ? Peyton Place is also one of my favorite film but i supposed this town wasn’t real, it’s absolutely beautiful and i hope to have the opportunity to visit it myself one day. Thank you 🙏

I have always loved the film. The music is beyond words and the actors were amazing and unforgettable. Love this film revisit on Location. Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@padroneoso]

Agree with the rest of you: This is a lovely video. Franz Waxman's score for 1957's PEYTON PLACE is in a league with Johnny Green's score for RAINTREE COUNTY (1957), Dmitri Tiomkin's for GIANT (1956), and Alfred Newman's for ANASTASIA (1956). Those of you who have yet to see PEYTON PLACE, watch for the beautiful and unforgettable conclusion, with children on bicycles, Alison's final words, and a reprise of the steeple bell fanfare that opens the movie.

[@amywalker3684]

The main reasons this is a favorite movie of mine are the cinematography and the stunning score. I might have to put a visit to Camden on my bucket list. Thanks so much for sharing.

Does this town really existed ? It’s so charming!! ………… no words. Dreamy place, absolutely beautiful 👌💕

Yes. There are many mean-spirited people, too.

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

To answer your question, Christine (and not in a RUDE way, like some other moronic assholes have done), yes, the town really exists. It's in Maine, Camden Maine to be specific, where all of the exterior shots were filmed for the movie. Russ Tamblyn said in the DVD of P. P. that when he and Terry Moore went back for a reunion to celebrate the 50 years of the filming of P. P., he said it was such a thrill to see not one thing had changed in all that time. He said it was like stepping back in time, and that he and Terry Moore both cried because it had such a special meaning to them and a very special place in their hearts.

[@Waldocounty]

This is where I grew up. "Peyton Place High School" was the former Crosby High School, Belfast, Me., and was a junior high when I went there. Only locals would know the gaffe in the bus stop scene in downtown "Peyton Place" (Camden, Me.), when Alison leaves town. She boards the bus and it roars away--headed north on Main Street, toward Bangor. The true direction to New York would be just the opposite. Meanwhile, this vid faithfully captures most of the film's key locations.

[@OneLadydove]

This movie was a learning experience when I was growing up. It was strange not to see a black person as a maid or janitor. Even all the poor people were white. Even the ghetto was white. Til this day, Peyton Place is one of my favorite stories.

[@thomasclendaniel520]

Thanks, this was beautiful.

[@ericmaine]

Best thing of all..Camden, ME (where the movie was filmed) hasn't changed much.

[@Nevada_Dan]

Coincidentally, I was born in 1957, the year this movie was produced, and I have long held a deep love for this film production. So with that in mind, Camden, Maine is my number-one 'bucket list' item to visit and savor before I die. I was born in the American Southwest, and after a long career in the Air Force I now find myself returned to and living retired among the rock and cactus and heat... so far removed from that slice of New-England heaven I so long for...

I'm not certain, but he looks so much like him I think it is. All of these locations have been a part of my life forever. Camden is still pretty much the same as it appears in the movie. You'll enjoy it, I'm sure.

This scene reminds me of The Scene on The UK Soap Opera Emmerdale where Kim Tate and her Stepdaughter Zoe ask Seth Armstrong how to get to The Dales (Short For The Fictitious Town Yorkdale), in many ways it too is like Peyton Place in the sense that it is also a small town where everyone knows everyone's business.

Huh. Wikipedia has a whole para on Camden as the location of 2001’s In the Bedroom and another whole para on 1995’s Casper being shot there, and then a concluding sentence: Other movies shot in Camden include Captains Courageous (1937), Carousel (1957) and Peyton Place (1957). Those last three films are all time classics, but reduced to an afterthought.
