Original vintage reference photograph from the 1957 film, showing actor Arthur Kennedy. Based on the 1956 novel by Grace Metalious. Gossip is pervasive in a small New England town, leading everyone to do what they can to hide their secrets and scandals until they boil over. The film tied with "The Little Foxes" (1941) for the most Academy Award nominations-but no wins. Set in the fictional New England town of Peyton Place, shot on location in Maine, New Hampshire, and New York. 8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, with splash at top left corner.
