I peccatori di Peyton (1957)
Peyton Place non è una tranquilla cittadina del New England, è un nido di vipere. Sotto l'apparente normalità, infatti, covano insoddisfazioni profonde e drammi insanabili. Constance Mckenzie (Turner) non s'è ancora ripresa da un amore passato dal quale è nata sua figlia Allison ma questo non le impedisce di cedere alle attenzioni del nuovo preside della scuola (Philips). Selena Cross (Lange) viene violentata dal patrigno Lucas (Kennedy) e resta incinta. Sua madre si suicida e alla fine Selena, disperata, uccide il suo violentatore. Al processo che segue verrà assolta.
