Peyton Place, Pt. 2 [5 Discs]

Overview

"The second half of the first season of Peyton Place makes its bow on DVD, 33 episodes in all, and all, if anything, better than the previous 31 shows on the first volume. By this time, the cast, the writers, and the director had hit their stride, and the quality of the work is high enough to make this bracing viewing on a dramatic level, even 44 years later. The writing by Paul Monash is spot-on, and the cast -- a mix of veteran such as Warner Anderson, Henry Beckman, Paul Langton, Kasey Rogers, and Dorothy Malone, and talented neophytes Mia Farrow, Christopher Connelly, Barbara Parkins, and Ryan O'Neal -- has found their marks, in terms of slipping into their characters, and were operating on all cylinders. The transfers here are comparable to those on the first volume, with some minor flaws in the film stock, owing to age, that get through, but only in the least obtrusive way apart from some grain in the image. Each episode has been given a chapter-break accompanying the edited breaks for credits and commercials, resulting in six chapters per episode. Each disc opens to a simple two-layer menu that allows access to all episodes or individual programs. And one can skip over the Shout Factory trailers for other series that appear ahead of the menu. As with the previous volume, there are no bonus features."
