Original air date: August 22, 1967 on ABC. Rod threatens to go to the police with his information on Leslie.....Elliot reports that Chandler has been shot dead in Georgia.....
Absolutely 💯 His character, Leslie, could dish it out and take it. Oddly, I loved to listen to Paul Langton speak and how he pronounced everything. Like Betty: Bettehh.
I've been home 24/7 the last few days, alternating between binge watching Peyton Place, and doing some DIY projects. Hadn't even listened to the news, until a few minutes ago. Ryan O'Neal died yesterday 12-8-2023, at the age of 82. Rest in peace, Ryan. 💐🙏
Chandler's death might have been mentioned at the institution Rachel was in-and when she heard about it,that probably caused her recovery,recorded several episodes later.(Chuckle!)
I haven’t researched it, but I think Peyton Place was simply filled with 50s/60s western tv actors/actresses. Even the music. Westerns were morality plays much like Peyton Place.
Dorothy Maguire hit her high point in "Written on the Wind" with Bacall and Hudson. Ryan O'Neil never really had a high point. Dan Duryea had a long career. Several other PP actors have had careers as minor players in so many films and TV shows. Groundbreaking series in many respects.
Great episode. So glad George MacReady's gone. I was so sick of his whispery voice & tiresome machinations---and just plain sick of his wily facial expressions in close-ups on the screen. Wilfred Hyde-White will be so much better in the role. Polished & sophisticated with 3-dimensional acting skills, along with a good, strong, crisp British accent. He's a delight to listen to. Paul Langton just magnificent in this episode.
