“Peyton Place: Part One” refers to the first portion of the film adaptation of Grace Metalious’s best-selling 1956 novel, Peyton Place. The story is set in a seemingly idyllic small town in New England during the 1940s but reveals the hidden lives and dark secrets of its residents. Directed by Mark Robson, the film explores themes of social hypocrisy, forbidden love, and moral dilemmas.

In Part One, viewers are introduced to the central characters, including Constance MacKenzie (played by Lana Turner), a single mother struggling with her past, and her daughter, Allison MacKenzie (played by Diane Varsi), who is coming of age in a town rife with scandal. Other key characters include the troubled Selena Cross (played by Hope Lange), who becomes entangled in a shocking and tragic storyline, and Dr. Matthew Swain (played by Lloyd Nolan), who provides a moral compass in a town filled with judgment and secrecy.

The film’s candid exploration of these issues made it both controversial and a major box-office success. Part One sets the stage for the unfolding drama and the intricate relationships that drive the narrative forward, capturing the complexities and contradictions of life in a small town. Part one includes the first 31 original episodes.
