Thanks, I actually figured that before I posted, but thought I'd throw it out there anyway, just for fun. The town in Sander's movie was Mandrake Falls. I was also trying to work Gilmanton Iron Works [the actual town fictionalized in Peyton Place] in there somehow, but couldn't think of a way to do it.
It also just dawned on me that the Concord referred to must be the State Capitol. I had quickly scanned the article to try to figure out which Concord it was, as the post did not identify it. I had ruled out MA or CA, NH did not occur to me.
