As a kid I remember being aware of this TV Series based on the movie. I guess my Mom or my sister liked watching it. I remember main theme and how I thought it was good. I remember Ryan O'neal and Mia Farrow being on the show. Yes, excellent Main Theme by Franz Waxman from the movie. He is credited in the End Titles.
Now an all grown up 57 year old man, I never knew Arthur Morton and Fred Steiner contributed episode scores with Lionel Newman usually conducting and music supervising. Cool.
Arthur Morton scored:

Here's one scored by Cyril Mockridge:

Seems Morton did the majority of the scores though.
George Korngold was the music editor.

Bring on the OST's!
I vaguely remember PEYTON PLACE when it was new. My mother used to watch it. I wasn't allowed to stay up until 9:30 pm, but I could hear "And now, the continuing story of Peyton Place starring Dorothy Malone as Constance McKenzie, Ed Nelson as Dr Michael Rossi ..." with the surging violin theme drifting up the stairs into my room. The score entered my head in childhood and has been there ever since. Last year curiosity drove me to buy the two DVD sets covering the first nne months of episodes. I got hooked. Shot on 35mm film instead of video, with first-rate photography and production values, literate scripts that always seemed to know when to move on, vivid and believable characters, superb acting (Barbara Parkins is my favorite), a lot of care and attention put into creating the atmosphere and look of New England as the weather changed in accord with the four seasons. I understand that each week would air two or three new episodes which were never repeated. The program didn't enter repeats until the 1980s or thereabouts. It was an exceptional program, but to call it a soap opera is to trivialize it. It's actually melodrama, but sophisticated melodrama, and not in a hoity-toity way.
It would be nice if the network and Shout! released the rest of the program. A soundtrack CD, or a series of soundtrack CD's, would be most welcome. Money burns a hole in my pocket for PEYTON PLACE.
Then I could throw the bootleg box-set away.
