BLU-RAY DVD BRAND NEW Newly arrived in Ramsdale, New Hampshire, European migr Humbert Humbert is smitten. He plans to marry Charlotte Haze. That way he'll always be close to ... his dear one-Charlotte's precocious daughter! Filmmaker Stanley Kubrick explores the theme of sexual obsession (a subject he would revisit 37 years later in Eyes Wide Shut) with this darkly comic and deeply moving version of Vladimir Nabokov's novel. James Mason plays devious, deluded Humbert: wedded to needy Charlotte (Shelley Winters); rivaled by the ubiquitous Clare Quilty (chameleonlike Peter Sellers); and enraptured to his gelatinous core by the blithe teen (Sue Lyon) with that "lovely, lyrical, lilting name-Lolita.

Overview

"How did they make a movie out of Lolita?" teased the print ads of this Stanley Kubrick production. The answer: by adding three years to the title character's age. The original Vladimir Nabokov novel caused no end of scandal by detailing the romance between a middle-aged intellectual and a 12-year-old nymphet. The affair is "cleansed" ever so slightly in the film by making Lolita a 15-year-old portrayed by 16-year-old Sue Lyon. In adapting his novel to film, Nabokov downplayed the wicked satire and sensuality of the material, concentrating instead on the story's farcical aspects.

Overview

"How did they make a movie out of Lolita?" teased the print ads of this Stanley Kubrick production. The answer: by adding three years to the title character's age. The original Vladimir Nabokov novel caused no end of scandal by detailing the romance between a middle-aged intellectual and a 12-year-old nymphet. The affair is "cleansed" ever so slightly in the film by making Lolita a 15-year-old portrayed by 16-year-old Sue Lyon. In adapting his novel to film, Nabokov downplayed the wicked satire and sensuality of the material, concentrating instead on the story's farcical aspects. James Mason plays professor Humbert Humbert, who while waiting to begin a teaching post in the United States rents a room from blowzy Shelley Winters. Winters immediately falls for the worldly Humbert, but he only has eyes for his landlady's nubile daughter Lolita. The professor goes so far as to marry Winters so that he can remain near to the object of his ardor. Turning up like a bad penny at every opportunity is smarmy TV writer Quilty Peter Sellers, who seems inordinately interested in Humbert's behavior. When Winters happens to read Humbert's diary, she is so revolted by his lustful thoughts that she runs blindly into the street, where she is struck and killed by a car. Without telling Lolita that her mother is dead, Humbert packs her into the car and goes on a cross-country trip, dogged every inch of the way by a mysterious pursuer. Once she gets over the shock of her mother's death, Lolita is agreeable to inaugurating an affair with her stepfather this is handled very, very discreetly, despite the slavering critical assessments of 1962. But when the girl begins discovering boys her own age, she drifts away from Humbert. One day, she leaves without warning. This is humiliation enough for Humbert; but when he discovers who her secret lover really is, the results are fatal. We are prepared for the ending because the film has been framed as a flashback; what we are not prepared for is Stanley Kubrick's adroit manipulation of our sympathies and expectations. An incredibly long film considering its subject matter, Lolita is never dull, nor does it ever stoop to the sensationalism prevalent in the film's ad campaign. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    A Man and a Girl with twist and turns of LOVE!!

    This movie yet in black and white was still great!! The actors were exactly like the book except for Lolita who seemed more like 18 than 12 which is the age she depicts in the book but this move is not horrible long and has a very fluid transition so you are sure not to get lost. Humbert's past is not really explained in this book but you do feel his genuine obsession with Lolita come out in the movie. A must see for fans of the book!!!!

    A love story disgusted with love.

    Stanley Kubrick's "Lolita", scripted by the novel's author Vladimir Nabokov, has managed to make a place for itself in the hearts of Humberts everywhere. It's filled with marvelous performances: James Mason as the tormented Humbert Peter Sellers as the degenerate writer Clare Quilty, who, in various disguises, chases Humbert and his Lotita as they journey across the American wasteland Shelley Winters as Lolita's mother,the repellent, hopelessly middle-brow Charlotte Haze, whom Humbert expediently marries. The film only hints at sex--a response, presumably to the realities of releasing movies in the early '60s. Fortunately, Nabokov was an ideal choice by Kubrick hired to write the screenplay, which helped keep "Lolita" from slipping into the exercise in sensationalism it might, very easily, have become. But "Lolita" the film is more a work of personal expression for it's director. His great theme--classical art, and its relationship to our lives--permeates "Lolita", as does his later works including "A Clockwork Orange", in which the protagonist beats a woman to death with a statue of Beethoven while listening to the Fifth Symphony. Even in his earlier work, Kubrick was defining his statement about he humanities: they do little to make us more human. Therefore, "Lolita" may not have offered a film version of what was most fascinating in the book is was based on, but it did provide audiences with yet another work of sophisticated entertainment that would have been impossible to make only a few years earlier.

    Kubrick, What Can't You Do?

    This blazingly terrific motion picture is many things, it's Peter Sellers breakthrough performance, it's a milestone in film history, and it's one of Kubrick's best. The movie is excellent, from the perfect first half, to the downbeat second half Kubrick has created a work of art here. This movie is now a cult classic and arguably one of the milestone provocative pictures. You read it, you can't unread it, this has been a review.
