1965 Zeitgeist
missstellatrout27 February 2021
I've been playing the Peyton Place series in the background as I work from home. I heard references to the series for years and was curious - especially to see the chemistry between young Mia Farrow and Ryan O'Neal, an unlikely pairing.

The series is not badly made or acted but this is the episode that pulled me away from the computer: the night-skiing footage, the après ski coffee house music (The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face), Micky Dolenz (!). It felt like a moment in time captured - a moment before I was born.

Fun for Someone New; Key Ep for Those Watching Avidly
SGriffin-66 April 2024
A number of key storylines link up in this episode (right as it hit the 1/2-way mark of its 1st season): the mystery over who killed Elizabeth, the secret about who Alison's father is, and town bigwig Leslie Harrington's attempts to overturn his dead wife's will. Plus we finally get to see Alison and Rodney (Mia Farrow and Ryan O'Neal) finally go on another date--after months apart due to Rodney having to marry Betty...

But fun as a standalone episode too--with an early rendition of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (years before Roberta Flack recorded it), some great mid-60's dancing at the local hangout The Shoreline, and Mickey Dolenz (pre-Monkees) showing up as a low-life with evil intentions!
