This screen adaptation of Grace Metalious' once notorious novel about the scandalous underside of a sleepy New England town has been given a polished presentation for its DVD release. Peyton Place has been transferred to disc in letterboxed format at the widescreen aspect ratio of 2.35:1, which has been enhanced for anamorphic playback on 16 x 9 monitors. The original English--language soundtrack appears in Dolby Digital Stereo, while dubbed French and Spanish soundtracks appear in Dolby Digital Mono; optional subtitles appear in English and Spanish. Bonus materials include a commentary track featuring cast members Russ Tamblyn and Terry Moore, a documentary on the making of the film from the American Movie Classics series Backstory, and vintage newsreel coverage of the film's world premiere.
