As in many cases of book-to-screen adaptations, quite a few things were altered between the book "Return to Peyton Place" and the movie. Some of these include: Allison MacKenzie had several men vying for her attention in the book, but in the film she is partnered solely with Lewis Jackman. In the book, he dies in a horrific car crash soon after making love to Allison (she is in the car, too, but survives.) The book includes the continuing story of Betty Anderson and her small son and their relations with Lesley Harrington (her sons grandfather.) This entire story is left out of the film. Selena Cross has two love interests in the book. Neither one shows up in the film, though Nils, the ski instructor, has a few of the traits of one of them. In the novel, Constance and Michael Rossi share an earthy, sometimes randy relationship. They are much more conservative in the film with the character of Mike Rossi heavily altered from a sexually-charged Italian to a somewhat milquetoast gentleman. One huge change is the character of Ted Carters wife. In the book, shes a blue-blooded society girl named Jennifer and is presented as a sadomasochistic nymphomaniac with lots of cunning and deviousness. Needless to say, Roberta Carter (Teds mother) can hardly stand this and plots to murder her, only she winds up being killed herself. In the film, Ted marries a young girl behind his mothers back and she hates her for that and for her other flaw - shes Italian! She is named Rafaella (no doubt to accommodate the actors playing Ted and Raffaella who were married in real life and the wife an Italian with a noticeable accent.) In the finished film, there is never any indication that foul play will occur between the ladies, despite their hatred for one another. However, early print ads for the film refer to Roberta Carters plans to murder her daughter-in-law and the trailer features the Carter house engulfed in flames. So somewhere along the line (after filming was completed) it was decided to abandon the whole murder plot entirely and just end with the Town Hall meeting. Also present in the book, but absent from the film, are the characters of Selenas brother Joey, Allisons friend Stephanie and a famed actress called Rita Moore.
c.
The states bordering Springfield are: Nevada, Maine, Kentucky and Ohio. This pays homage the long running joke in the TV series of not pinning down exactly where Springfield is located.
d.
Rumors that
Andy Williams
dubbed
Lauren Bacall
s singing voice are untrue. Both director
Howard Hawks
and Bacall confirm that she did her own singing.
5.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Amigo (2010)?
a.
Before Amigo, the last movie about American forces in the Philippines was John Dahl-directed
The Great Raid
which tackled World War II in the Philippines. Also in that movie was
Bembol Roco
who also appears in Amigo. Also in
The Great Raid
was
Cesar Montano
who, just like
Joel Torre
, also plays
Jose Rizal
in
José Rizal
.
b.
The Navy SH-3H Sea-King "66" helicopter from the rescue scene is not the original rescue aircraft from the Apollo missions as previously stated, as the original "66" had been crashed (total loss) before the film was made. Another Sea-King (bureau number 148999) was painted up like the original and used for filming. This helicopter can (as of Dec. 2008) be seen on display at the USS Hornet Museum in Alameda CA.
c.

d.
