I hope they release the seque. Return to Peyton Place - one of the silliest sequels ever. I like the film, but they often act as if events in the first film didn't happen. the first film happens duiring World War II. the seocnd sems to be hap0pewning in 1961 !! andhas a great bad info line "that's the best news since I married your mother!
The film has a great trailer that includes scenes from the alternate ending not used in the movie.

first time i can recall watching the film all the way thru from the begining was a couple weeks back with this dvd.
What a blast!
i had no issues with the transfer or disc at all, looked as good as i could have hoped.

i enjoyed it so much that i finally got around to watching a couple of Doug Sirk films that have been sitting on the self unopened for quite a while-
Imitation Of Life and Written On The Wind.
As much as i enjoyed PP, i think i may have had an even better time with IOL (something i had never seen before at all).
it was close though, and the print on PP looked much much better.
its a shame we can't all have a Doc Swain in our lives :)


so what other 50's era soap opera/melodramas still need to come out?
