Me too, about Troy .. Peyton Place is a standout movie of those years in my memory ...it was filmed in CT near where I lived. And I loved the theme.
Oh....I remember when I saw Peyton Place for the first time...I thought it was so "dirty", and felt so grown-up watching it!
I grew up in Boulder Colorado, which has beautiful mountains and snow....but, whenever I saw that movie...and then the TV show (not near as good)...I fell in LOVE with the scenery and dreamed of living in that town....
The theme is very memorable and good...I know what you mean.
